This
weekend, I was moved to tears by a segment on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show. I was leery of
writing of it, for fear the “ULTIMATE DIVIDER”
– politics – might rear its ugly head. However, I ASSURE
you this piece will touch ALL Americans – as it rightfully should. This
has NOTHING to do with Democrats or Republicans – but government in
general; and thus, the appalling way “AMERICA TREATS ITS
OWN”…
Veterans’
unemployment — a national disgrace
The
segment was done in two parts; the first, describing how Congress
(again, NOT “Republicans” or “Democrats”; but
GOVERNMENT) refused to pass a bill providing funding to integrate returning
veterans into the work force…
The
Daily Show with Jon Stewart World of Warshaft
Yes, a
measly $1 billion – over five years – was not deemed
worthwhile to help the naïve youths TRICKED into serving via PROPAGANDA
about Iraq…
Study:
Bush, aides made 935 false statements in run-up to war
…and
Afghanistan…
Americans
not hearing about Afghanistan War Casualties because media doesn’t
broadcast them
…which
combined, have taken the lives of roughly 10,000 foreign soldiers,
journalists, and workers – mostly American; let alone, hundreds of
thousands PARALYZED, MAIMED, or otherwise INJURED…
Casualties in Iraq/Afghanistan
…let
alone, millions of innocent civilians…
…often,
due to being kept in-country LONG after the termination of prescribed
tours…
Stop-loss policy
…in
wars NEVER approved by Congress, per Constitutional mandate…
Did
Congress approve America’s longest war?
…that thus far, have cumulatively cost $3.2 to $4.0
TRILLION…
Financial
cost of the Iraq War
Essentially,
EVERYTHING about the “War on Terrorism” has been a BOLD-FACED
LIE; and NO ONE has suffered more than the soldiers – and their
families – duped into “serving their country”; just as in
Vietnam, when 55,000 American soldiers were killed, along with more than 3.5
MILLION Vietnamese…
Vietnam War
– Wikipedia
in the name
of a FALSE FLAG ATTACK…
Gulf of Tonkin
incident
…and
subsequently, treated like GARBAGE…
Our
Treatment of Vietnam Vets — and Our Current Vets — Is a Shame
But
it’s the second segment that will REALLY anger you; and likely,
move you to tears as well. These two brave veterans needlessly risked
their lives EVERY day in the name of the government PROPAGANDA machine; only
to be “tossed to the curb” once their tours ended. Tens of
millions of Americans could not care less; and hopefully, the
spreading of this video might help to effect change – or at the least,
passage of that pathetic $1 billion bill…
The
Daily Show Exclusive – Economic Reintegration for Veterans
…and
MORE importantly, open a few more eyes to “HOW AMERICA TREATS ITS
OWN.”
