Support the troops AND the civilians

Everyday people are enjoying and abusing the rights, privileges and freedoms which were gained through the struggle of activists and everyday people.

Support the troops, and end the wars of occupation which are causing so much misery, injury and death all over the world. You cannot maintain a democracy within a military based society for long, the descent starts with fear of the outside world. Now our military is just another industry with a huge influence on public policy, yet people complain about the notion of free healthcare? Insanity.

I don't hate people who are who they are because of mistaken beliefs. But, tell me why should I not feel angst towards the mercenary who kills a civilian at point blank? Who should I feel sorry for at that point, the people or the soldier? Flags don't kill, people do. It's unfortunate when a person is ordered to kill, more unfortunate that they pull the trigger when brainwashed by false ideology.
