A Legendary Speech from a US soldier: We must stop sacrificing lives for defense contractors
Who knows better about any war, a soldier, a journalist or a politician?
- a Journalist only get paid to write, but have they been really at the field with a gun facing the enemy?
- war are usually created by politicians who are sitting in the parliament debating about why the war is justified
Listen to the true story revealed by soldiers:

we know what
these wars are really about and we
joined the military for many reasons cuz
we need a college education cuz we need
a job because we need health care and then
we join the military and they tell us
that our enem enemies are poor people in
caves in Afghanistan or poor people in
the deserts of Iraq but we've been to
those countries and we know that our
enemies are not other poor people abroad
our enemies are the people that laid us
off from our jobs that denied US Health
Care that make it impossible to get an
education our enemies are not in the
poorest countries on the planet but
right here in the richest
one now these
wars the occupation of Iraq and
Afghanistan alone are costing over $700
million every single day this is a crime
every single day while so many of us are
hurting well I think all of us here and
the vast majority of people in this
country would agree that we can spend
$700 million a day better than bombing
people that we have no reason to bomb we
can spend $700 million a day rebuilding
those countries we've destroyed we can
spend 700 million a day caring for the
veterans we get home when they get home
and then we can spend $700 million a day
giving every single person Health Care a
college education a job and a livelihood
and a home that's who we need to be
spending our money
on but this government is not going to
do that they're not going to use the
money in that way they're not going to
end the wars and they're not going to do
it because it's not our government it's
their government it's a government of
the rich it's a government of Wall
Street of the oil Giants of the defense
contractors it's their government and
the only language that they understand
is shutting down business as usual and
that's what we're doing here today and
we're going to continue to do until
these wars are over
well it's Crystal Clear now that these
wars are going going to continue and
expand and go into other countries that
is the trend that is what we know that
there is Perpetual war and it's only
going to stop if the people stand up and
stop it and that's what we're going to
3:13
do sisters and brothers
