If it's truly none of your business why are you posting on social media for useless points? Go back to your corner, sitdown, and color

Went over to Iraq circa 2005. Never once picked up a shovel to dig for oil.

U have these great thoughts but Id bet u won't stop buying fuel, plastics, food grown w/ fertilizer, etc 2 stop it. something to think on ??
candiduscorvus
As a veteran I think this is a solid idea. But maybe also stop treating us like an underclass too after we get out.
Chimichanga007
hear, hear. promises, promises.

The best veterans day will be when we no longer have veterans to celebrate

Yeah good luck with that when Big Business such as Oil Companies are in bed with our government. It will always be this way.

More like sending them to fight the Gulf States wars for them
Ombenth
We went to Afghanistan because of 9/11 happened, and terrorist were there. Iraq was Bush's idea to stomp failed states. Your post is wrong.
daveydwb
And there was only one candidate who wanted to do exactly that.
Chimichanga007
No denying that here
blarghl
lies. sharing inspirational quotes on facebook is the way to honor vets
LloydWaldo
:sigh: We don't steal oil. We buy it. And finding more oil isn't what oil companies want anyway.
NegativePositivePrimitive
Send the CEO's what?
ultrasemen
No, you misunderstood. It's like "send nudes" except OP wants you to pm him pictures of CEOs.
NegativePositivePrimitive
You said CEOs. OP said CEO's
Pwnius
The "Oil War" thing is an absurd conspiracy theory. We drill almost all our own oil in the USA and gulf.
FaithAlone
OH it is about to get much worse.
ShoopDeDoop
You don't know much about veterans then.
SexuallyImpotentTyrannosaur
Seconded.
Chimichanga007
both my parents are vets. I think they come in all political flavors.
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
I am a veteran and i agree with the general sentiment expressed by this post.
alruss93
Yeah a lot of us just wanna go fuck shit up and get paid. See; guys still chasing deployments. (Except OIR cause that's some horseshit)

This is America...you're SURPRISED lots of beefcake jocks get off on kill fetishes here?

And! Why! Do! They always send the poor?!?! They always send the poor!! THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR!!!!!!!!
Chimichanga007
military has se nice incentives for lower income people, and the discipline learned is very useful in any profession. But also has careers
Chimichanga007
for officers on some really demanding and rewarding roles. Enlisted people can attain truly pivotal and interesting roles as well.
Chimichanga007
Truly, the military being organized to benefit lower income people (as an alternative career path) in itself is not a problem at all, it's
Chimichanga007
the fact that we send them to perpetual war these days, against an ambiguous enemy, for the benefit of those who only care about profits.
IATTM
I feel like I agree with you; however, I hope you know I was quoting a System of a Down song.

2005 is calling, it wants it's cynicism back

Right now is on the phone, it says we still have the same problems as 2005, and its sad about that fact.

Our biggest war is right here in America....but then yet again, there is so much untapped oil here too....well shit.
beaviswasthecuteone
Yup that's America. Let's use a 120 year old engine because we're too fucking stupid to build something better.
mrsuzukiami
Wot?
beaviswasthecuteone
No speak engrish?
mrsuzukiami
Wot?
leodavinci1
Maybe they should be honored by ending war and not sending anyone else out to die for someone else's "cause". But we'd rather send 1of ?
leodavinci1
hundreds of thousands out to die instead facing the consequences of dealing with the tools we have that can end war. As long as we're 2 of ?
leodavinci1
willing to continually sacrifice people's lives, we're going to have wars. If we all had to live with one of two choices; 1) we all 3 of ?
leodavinci1
live together in peace, or 2) we all die together, I think most people would decide to live peacefully. I'd pay to build a lunar base 4 of ?

that could toss boulders at Earth (instead of messy nuclear bombs) for strategic strikes. Think "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". 5 of 6

Could bring us a pax terrestrial most of want. It won't happen by all of us just laying down our arms. Cause that ain't gonna happen. 6 of 6
dangeroushorses
Fight wars for oil companies? That tells me you don't know anything, and your "research" consists of reading youtube comments.
debunker
Nice. At least one other intelligent person here.
Genini
Can't be youtube comments. Then they would say "Fight faggot wars OP. Obama rulz."
NiceCatchBlancoNinoTooBadYourAssGotSacked
But if we stop doing that we'll run out of veterans to honor on Veteran's Day.
Chimichanga007
you don't have to have served in a combat or even on foreign soil to be a veteran. Do you fault someone willing to put their life on
Chimichanga007
/2 The line for their country if that need never arises?
Marceps
I saw a post earlier today convey this very sentiment. It was downvoted into oblivion.

War profiteering is very real. We'll be in another dumbass war pretty soon.
darkdragonempress
It's also considered treason so it's very upsetting that it doesn't get prosecuted.
ILOVEFARTING
Prosecuted like that whole Iran-Contra affair? Or manufacturing nonexistent evidence 1/2
ILOVEFARTING
for congress to agree to a war in Iraq? What does "Treason" mean anymore?
darkdragonempress
In this instance I'm specifically talking about war profiteering. Which is ensuring no bid contracts or taking money for un provided service
debunker
Canada has some of the biggest oil reserves in the world. Top 10. More than Iraq and Kuwait combined. War isn't about oil.
thegreatheed
And the US produces more oil than Canada now.
debunker
That's why I said "oil reserves" and not "oil production".
thegreatheed
Known "oil reserves" don't mean nearly as much as they did 5 years ago.
debunker
What does that even mean? And why are you putting oil reserves in quotations?
leftbanana
Sounds like the US needs some freedom and democracy ... wait ... no, I was right. We need freedom, democracy, and oil
leftbanana
Sounds like Canada needs some freedom and democracy
debunker
We have plenty. Thank you.
leftbanana
But does it have that distinct flavor of US freedom and democracy? We bring that special crazy that makes it spicy! ;)
Milchsteak
The US tries to get oil from the middle east to europe so that russia doesn't get to much power over europe. Look at the no flight zones
hamaha
Yup. Still using influence to block Russia's proposed pipelines. Syria is Russia's last chance which is why they are taking such a stance.
debunker
Then they would have invaded Nigeria a long time ago. Much quicker route to Europe. Your argument holds no bearing.
Milchsteak
The thing is that that would have just moved the deputy war to nigeria. Why do you think the US is in that war?
debunker
Coalition forces are there b/c the region is unstable & that leads to a breeding ground for terrorism .. not in the best interest of allies.
Milchsteak
The region is unstable because russia and the US keep fighting they since decades.
DontTouchMyHoHos
Yea, who cares about suicide bombing children and women being forced into slavery by isis.
Milchsteak
The US tries to get oil from the middle east to europe so that russia doesn't get to much power over europe. Look at the no flight zones
AvadonyaTheSilverGrapefruit
Soooo when it's about THIS country we go to war but child slavery in china is alright ?
Mrocco
Now we are bombing their children instead of them! We're helping!
Somanyquestions
Of course people care about this, but being the world police has all kinds of downside.
impulsivepassion
By that logic, we'd help out North Korea.
thegreatheed
Didn't we try that already?
impulsivepassion
I wasn't aware our morals held to a try once and that's it standard.
brasskneecap
History is hard for some people
impulsivepassion
It's almost as hard as standing by and watching as a country enslaves and commits war crimes against its own people.
somewealthyamerican
Then you should be happy trumps in and not hillary.
Chimichanga007
I can agree with that. No no fly zone :-)
heynongman4pres
lol just wait and see, you got duped my friend
somewealthyamerican
I'm just glad we are off the no fly zone with Syria. War with Russia wouldn't end well for anyone.
heynongman4pres
Dude... nobody in any party except maybe the extreme hawks on the right want conflict w/ Russia. You got duped again.
Chimichanga007
we can only infer from the evidence given. Hillary was expressly for antagonizing Russia, the OTHER major nuclear power.
heynongman4pres
The point was never to antagonize Russia, it is stand with our allies who are being bullied by Russia.
heynongman4pres
None of that means war with Russia, that is an insane far-right style criticism of Clinton's proposed approach. We'll see what Trump does.
heynongman4pres
Russia is invading and annexing territory in Europe, conducting cyber attacks on the US and propping up Assad. They should be opposed.
ThisIsFrigglish
Please, it's the infrastructure rebuilding and military support service contracts that are making the real money.

Dont forget the banks who lend out money to both countries for the wars
WestonsCat
At Interest - lots and lots of Interest...
WhoIsJohnSnow
Yeah, banks are killing it lending to the US government. 30 year government bonds pay nearly 3% interest!
ImAkuTheShapeShiftingMasterofDarkness
Also the soldiers and Marines love that shit. Well at least the ones who haven't gone there yet.
milante
Some who have, do. My armory chief keeps talking about wanting to go back, despite how much it sucked.
Chimichanga007
Same people. Multi National corporations who care nothing for the USA or our soldier's lives.
ThisIsFrigglish
Oh yeah, I'm not disputing who's a subsidiary of who. Just that oil extraction was pretty much a bust as a revenue stream, comparatively.
Sticklebrickk
Go on, throw a wrench in the corporate machine. See what happens.
debunker
If it was about oil, you guys would have attacked us in Canada a LONG time ago.
Leeloothedog
we tried that before... kept getting bogged down in the syrup fields north of maine :(
picturefan73
We did Vermonters tried to raid Montreal and there was some fighting near the border in 1812
debunker
Was that for oil?
picturefan73
Nah he wanted to bring the revolution to Montreal but smallpox happened and a lot of the army died
valkyrium
Well. You never know what the future holds!

Haha .. Guess that's why Trump wants to disband NATO.

People use to say the same thing about Ireland but then the civil war ended. War zones are fucked up.

Been a Muslim? Dont say sharia law is wrong. Never been a senior? Shut up about social security. See what happens when you say dumb shit?

You're assuming I have an opinion on those things. But you have a point. Here's mine, how could you possibly understand war?

Tell you what, unless you've spent time as a chef your opinion on food means shit. Never been a lawyer? Your legal rights mean shit, never
ChickenFingerFingers
Why would you trust the non professional? That seems counterintuitive...

I'll take my firsthand experience over some edgy 14 year old who thinks the "man" is out to get him. You're not wrong. But not right either.
