So once again antiwar blogs <\/a>are talking this weekend to reminder you two important things. The first that you are all baby killers and war criminals because of of the millions of people that died in all the wars we took part in that ether were not American and\/or not in our Armed Forces. <\/p>\n

This veteran is waiting for the year in which the Veterans For Peace, in its Memorial Day Press Release, states that Veterans mourn first, the lives America took in poor countries, both the civilian men, women and children and the patriots that fought our illegal and criminal invasions since 1945.<\/strong> Only then should come bitterly mourning GIs who were duped<\/strong> by our elected officials and the CIA and Pentagon fed, corporate-controlled war-promoting media cartel fooling them with lies, misinformation, disinformation and psyop techniques that deceived them into proudly following homicidal criminal orders. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Again, this veteran is hoping that the Veterans For Peace Memorial Day Statement Press Release will say that VFP, or at least many if not all VFP, mourn the patriots of US invaded countries that fell fighting against overwhelming odds, and their civilian countrymen and children who also fell in harms way of those US invading forces.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Second that those who died should be only considered after the fact because they are war criminals. <\/p>\n

To be polite, we mourn them first before mourning our own soldiers who were killed in the line of duty following our government’s criminal orders. Otherwise how can anyone believe VFP condemns the taking of all these millions of lives of poor people overseas in illegal criminal military action;<\/strong> an illegal use of military that Representative from Texas, Congressman and Republican candidate for president, denounced (but did not call for prosecution).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Third is that you should not be celebrating with parades, flags and anything that puts the service of those who have gone before us in any positive light because it was hijacked. <\/p>\n

This Memorial Day 2013, Veterans For Peace is asking their fellow Americans to morn quietly at home. We ask that all sincerely patriotic citizens not take part in military parades and festive open-air observances under flags flying military colors. It anyone asks you why, say you don’t like selective mourning, that is, mourning our dead but not those our soldiers killed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Memorial Day has been hijacked, just as our nation has been hijacked, by the investment banks of the Military-Industrial-Complex. Its corporate owned media promotes and hails an indiscriminate celebration of all US wars as heroic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh and the comments are just as bad. <\/p>\n

from what i know, soldiers are generally clueless about exactly why they are being deployed to<\/strong> all the countries they are being sent to. no matter how hard things are, its never a justification to go halfway around the world to kill innocent people<\/strong> or to pilot drones to do the same-kill innocent people with “pinpoint accuracy” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a former president of VFP (Veterans For Peace) I can tell you that many of our members skip the Memorial Day celebrations altogether because those events are, primarily and sadly, a glorification of the military and the killing machines of war. Members who do participate carry our banner, a dove on a military helmet with our name writ large, and a variety of signs against war and the suffering — all suffering, not just that of U.S. veterans — it leaves in its wake. They typically receive a very enthusiastic response from people watching the parade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So the next time that the Veterans for Peace says that support the troops just remember that they do, but it is not our troops. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
