What’s a American Soldier Worth?

American soldiers real history.

What’s a American soldiers service to the country worth, apparently not much . I have several family members who have served in the American military. I have witnessed their mistreatment, from two uncles who served in Vietnam who had to come home and endure the lies the media would spread about what really happened there. They weren’t given a voice to say what really happened and were even looked down on by civilians. A sister who is hooked on prescription medication and spent time in a VA hospital. I was told how another family member was almost denied his military honors funeral guaranteed to all veterans. I have a cousin married with kids whose husband constantly gets called back to tours in the middle east, being taken advantage of because he is a career military man. Now i hear veterans are being starved going almost 4 days sometimes when they were serving in Iraq. The same men come home to then find they are homeless because their home was sold while they were serving the country. Let’s not forget the countless other soldiers who have died and never really got a good explanation what they were fighting for. On top of that there’s the countless others who got seriously injured and whose lives will never be the same again. I even heard stories of veterans returning home and not receiving the money owed them for their service. So what is war really about, the billionaires that profit from perpetual war will tell the public it’s about stopping the bad guy and helping those in need. I wrote another article which proves this is not the case. People who join the military need to consider what their doing because when you come back home, that’s if you do, history proves that America and Americans won’t welcome you with open arms. The mistreatment of soldiers will continue so long as money is to be made in never ending war and nobody ask any questions. I say R.I.P to all soldiers past and present who died for America, but when you look at the necropolis that is Arlington National Cemetery I ask you what did those soldiers really die for ?

If you don’t think I ask a legitimate question with this article, then think about the 6,000 soldiers who committed suicide last year. Please read the book “Stolen Valor” by B.G. Burkett that backs up what I already stated about the lies told on the Vietnam War. The reasons for why most of them if not all of them died will shock you once you are aware of the truth of how this world really operates. I will give you a hint, look into on your own the events of Pearl Harbor, their you will find the truth of the value placed on a American soldiers life .
