I’m confused about what “freedoms” we’re protecting with such sanctimonious valor by continuously sending our youth to fight on foreign soil…
Was it… Women’s rights? Did we send a bunch of kids to third world countries to fight for our right to vote? For the right to choose a damned abortion if we felt ill equipped to have a child, or simply (God forbid) didn’t want one?
Or was it… Civil rights? Did we send a bunch of kids to fight in third world countries so that black citizens could sit wherever the fuck they wanted on the bus? Or walk off of a plantation and buy their their own goddamned piece of land?
What “freedoms” are being jeopardized??
I believe that the freedoms we have; we either (A). Started out with:
Like showing up on the shores of fuckin’ India and murdering our way through the native inhabitants until we owned it, putting ourselves immediately at the top of the food chain just by being brutal, occupying thieves.
Or, (B). We fought for them amongst ourselves:
Black people rallied up and fought against being slaves and second-class citizens on their own without the help of third world blood being shed. Women rallied up and fought against being puppets and domestic slaves and demanded the right to vote and are continuing every damn year to keep the government out of our fucking bodies. Although women now constitute 51% of the workforce, we still don’t get paid as much as men… Those are fights I don’t see kids killing each other on foreign soil as solving…
What freedoms have we either (a) won or (b) protected by engaging in combat overseas? Can you answer that question?
Even winning our independence from England happened right here on our stolen fucking homeland, Not in England. Where and when has sending our youth into horrible, bloody murderous situations ever saved us from losing our “freedoms?”
I want real answers, not trite political fucking rhetoric bullshit.
