As soldiers commit suicide and desperately lose their minds fighting wars that fat cats, bureaucrats and politicians promote, those fat cats still blatger about fighting terrorism and ridding the world of terrorist organizations; and still soldiers are dying, VA facilities are overwhelmed and the politicians are still flapping their jaws, playing games with the lives of hundreds of tgousands of so;diers and veterans.

Vets come home with ptsd and get killed by cops or commit suicide. Politicians blather about ‘fighting terrorism’, but theonly ‘fighting’ they really do is with each other in politics and over TV ratings.

RT writes:

The average has been about 300 suicides among servicemen every year during the last five years. The rate among American soldiers remains higher than among civilians. In 2012 the suicide rate in the US Army was about 30 in every 100,000 soldiers, compared to the rate for civilians of about 12.5 for 100,000 people.

The Defense Department statistics include both confirmed and suspected suicides, with National Guard and reservists who died on active duty included. The exact figures might slightly change if the causes of death initially classified as suicides are revised.

Politicians and candidates love running their mouths about war, national defense and ‘fightinh terrorism’, but thet are not paying the priice of war; death, suicide, PTSD.  And then there are horribleheadlines like this, which the armchair politician-warriors ignore:

307,000 veterans may have died awaiting Veterans Affairs health care, report says

Right now, the fearmongers have accelerated their efforts to distract the American public with all sorts of dire reports and it is working; the time honored technique of scaring the crap out of the public to distract them is sin high gear, with more to come. Psychological warefare is alive and wel in the USA: Uninforemed States ofAmerica.
