Today's youths, mostly from struggling families, are lured into sacrificing their lives through high pressure army recruiters with glory and adventure a carrot on a stick. Sadly they are killed, handicapped for life or shell-shocked so badly that combat soldiers and veterans commit suicide from the trauma of war–an average of 22, more than those killed in action.
Dear One,
Some of the media dwell on hero war corespondents embellishing personal news but none of them record the fact that toxic ammo and radioactive nuclear waste made into war vehicles and weaponry cause gross deformities in soldiers babies–what amounts to genocide that is carried over from one generation to another. Women of war-torn Fallajah, Iraq still give birth to two-headed babies with cyclops eyes from Bush carpet bombing. Such brutality and subhuman military behavior is a serial war crime.
This global hazard also reflects agent orange dioxin herbicide sprayed profusely during the Vietnam War and in the aftermath dumped irresponsibly on U.S. foreign military bases that are often abandoned and never cleaned up or restored. South Korea is military base is one of these locations. Billions of gallons of this poison have made countless people suffer in silence. Soldiers' babies, now grown up, were also deformed from toxic, lethal chemicals and radioactive missiles, with no compensation to the veterans' whose kids suffered along with their parents.
The U.S. recklessly dropped six H-bombs and one on Spain–accidentally or on purpose due to transport difficulties. Nuclear submarines, now out of date are also dumped into Earth's seas. And we are puzzled by a global environment warming our oceans!
So why aren't youths of nations where religious warfare is the hottest be recruited in their own countries?
It's over time to obliterate laws of the Bush administration, what President Obama is trying to do as he also is reluctant to send U.S. soldiers to more deaths. In the Iraq war of 13 years and still counting more than a million people have been killed.
The world wants peace, not endless enduring wars.
