Freedom Is Not Free

How does the Congress re-act to the disgraceful deeds of our past? They re-write the textbooks and swallow the lies about the great warriors MacArthur and Eisenhower. If those miscreants would have served under Saddam Hussein, they would have gassed the Kurds with glee.The vets in 1932 had an easy time with it compared with what would happen if they tried such a march today. The Posse Comitatus Act ceased in 2006. Nowadays, Iraq vets can shoot Vietnam vets with alacrity. The militarized Police have light infantry capabilities. As the casualties mount, the FBI and CIA have all the powers to suppress media and Internet reporting.After the carnage subsides, the Patriot and Military Commissions Acts permit the authorities to arrest protestors locking them forever in black sites for torture. As enemy combatants, the vets who fought for the country can suffer Rendition elsewhere subject to some of the sadists they had defeated in previous wars.If anyone desires a preview of what will happen, he can read what Bill Clinton did in 1999 to peaceful demonstrators in Seattle.Vietnam and Iraq veterans should know by now they can't expect the kind support of their countrymen. Why? In no way did they defend America. They get no respect for overseas aggression and preemptive wars.By contrast, my IDF unit engaged the Hezbollah in Lebanon. Our northern cities were under missile attack. An estimated 500,000 of our countrymen became refugees sleeping in the homes of our southern brethren. As we came by, the people rushed out to give us Soldiers food, candy, cheers and hugs.They loved us, because we were defending our homes, our kinfolk and our religion [way of life].
