A husband is departing to fight another war the United States of America has waged. A saddened wife is crying on the doorsteps. He is expecting his baby.
But it has a purpose. We are the United States. The military service is deeply ingrained in his family. His grandfather served in WW2 (while having been severely injured) and his father died in Vietnam. It is impossible not to go to the military for the family members.
No matter what the US are doing it is always right and they stand on the right side. This is actually not different from Russian culture where imperial ambitions and conquering thirst are prevalent.
Yes, there were wars with good purpose but the super-rich interest groups always had to give approval and they had benefited somehow from the campaign.
As a matter of fact, few super-rich families exert control over the US and they completely control whether a war would be waged. And reasons? Yes, democracy. But democracy because it allows them to invest in the country. Foreign investment is very difficult in a dictatorship. Yes, the human rights. But torture is widespread to the degree that the majority of people are living in countries where torture occurs. What about economic human rights? There are not any.
We must accept one thing – economy = politics. When you conquer some part or the whole land, the super-rich groups take the companies and whole parts of the economy. And when you are strong economically you control the politicians (yes, just like in the US).
So waging war and sending cannon fodder makes sense. But sense for the super-rich sociopath criminals that rule the country.
So the wife has become a widow and his child is an orphan. Another man developed a strong PTSD. Another fellow of his lost both of his legs. But they served America very well. But what kind of America?
So totally propaganda-brainwashed, nationalism-obsessed soldiers are dying, being crippled both physically and mentally by preposterously stupid beliefs they fight for some higher ideals but in reality are serving a few super-rich sociopaths in their economically-motivated adventures for gaining control over whole economies, spheres of influence, or natural resources while the unknowing public is clapping their hands in this totally disgusting butcher-theater while the rich are sipping champagne behind the safety-providing curtains. Some Americans do awake, some do love their establishment to the point they are just obedient sheep waiting to be butchered. Truly sad.
