Two Veterans

These two echo exactly what we need today. Where are the veterans to speak up against this phony war in Afghanistan?

Remember the Vietnam Veterans against the Vietnam War? Where are our people today. Our youth need to be reminded, this is their future being foisted on them.

We need to energize people to form groups against the wars we are being forced to pay for. Are we now an imperialist country. Republics don't go out and "colonize" other countries using our military as an in.

Remember the song "I'm Fixin to Die Rag" Country Joe and the Fish at Woodstock, just change the words from Vietnam to Afghanistan.
Back then we were up against the "commun-ist" scare, now it is the terror-ist scare. What will be the next _____-ist scare to fool the people?

We need more veterans to come forward. I wasn't in at this time, I was in earlier, during the "Russian" scare.

(Zak was one of the first). You're courageous and righteous - true "warriors". I'm so grateful to you for doing this. This will help a lot of neo-cons come around for sure.

Excellent!

videos! While at youtube, I decided to view several other videos from Veterans supporting Ron Paul. Is there a way they could all be combined into one video or all listed on one site?
Anyway, I loved what Alex Schlegal, Vet, said at the end of his video:

"I took an Oath to support and defend the Constitution. Don't you think we should have a President that'll do the same?".

Of course, that President is Ron Paul, "The Champion of the Constitution"!

Truly moving and encouraging to hear from these thoughtful

courageous veterans! They ARE the defenders of our Liberty as defined by Ron.

Kudos to Vets4RP, Trevor and MN for taping & front-paging this.

That's TRUE

Submitted by Jefferson2 on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 23:28. Permalink

bravery right there.

IDK if this is front page, but it should be.

Any soldier with half a lick of sense should be able to see the scam taking place.
They deserve the utmost respect IMO. They went, thinking they were doing the right thing (which you can't fault them for) and were manipulated just like everyone else.

But to come back after active duty, and tell it like it is takes true courage.

I'd like to see a montage of these testimonies, where they are basically saying the same thing, but in different ways. Weave it together like they are telling a story. That would make a powerful statement on foreign policy. It'd be an even more powerful commercial.

"The troops" have voted with their dollars.

More donations than ALL of the other "R's" COMBINED. More than BHO. That is a huge statement.
Combine that with a call to action for the other troops to respect the Oath, and "Restore the Republic".
The message would be aimed at other troops, but in the end, to everyone.
It's hard to do in 30 seconds on the radio. TV would be better.

Good ideas. The vetsforRonPaul side is

Submitted by reedr3v on Tue, 08/09/2011 - 15:26. Permalink

powerful. And a very powerful video could be made from the wonderful statements of vets on that site, with the conclusion being that RP gets the most donations from those employed by the military.

Your right Jefferson

these young men have courage to speak the truth. I feel bad for our military personnel because they were sold on a lie and they are paying with their lives and the ones who survive will remember that what they did to an innocent people with shame.

This is a reminder to me not to buy into propaganda that would have me do harm to others who have done nothing to me.

I think Ron Paul is the only candidate from either party that is a veteran.

Enlisted five days out of high school to "save the world from communism." With the INTERNET, kids these days have no excuse to be as naive as I.

The military enlistment center

Submitted by quiltingsando on Tue, 08/09/2011 - 18:52. Permalink

near me is call A CAREER CENTER. The propaganda PR is still misleading and powerful. I feel bad for the young as well because I saw the type of WAR GAMES the kids are playing. It is frightening how the children are being programed to like violence and hurting others with no remorse.

Vietnam was a horrible war for everyone I thought after Vietnam people had their fill of war but I guess we are slow learners.

I'll be making a video sometime soon to add to the collection. I have a 50 Billion Dinar note that I traded for a Pepsi in Yugoslavia. I think I'm going to use it in the vid to give a visual of hyperinflation and what happens when your economy collapses.
