Support The Military?
Advertisements [?]
I don't think so and here's why..

The military is like a large corporation gone awry.

You don't go around claiming support for GE, Enron and all the rest, do you?

We do support the workers at those companies, of course, because they are us. But to hell with throwing our hopes and dreams at the doors of these corporations and pray that they treat us right. Right?

We do support the individual soldiers because they are our fathers and sons and daughters and brothers. But that is as far as our allegiance can be allowed to go because once individuals succumb to being GE, or Enron, or military, they leave humanity behind.
