Read an article today , by project censored , that more American soldiers took their own lives , than died in combat in 2010 . It is wrong , what we are doing to them . Every time anyone pumps gas into their vehicle , they need to think about that . Every time they pay money for oil , plastic or the added transport cost to food , they need to think about that . People need to realize , we are all being sucked dry , for the wealthy to have the pleasure of saturating these young lives with misery they cannot bear . And for what ? MONEY ?! POWER ?! It ain't right . There is nothing worth that .

Exactly why Obama loves his expanded drone programs.... Desensitization, it's like a video game now, even the soldier goes home with clean hands.... Too bad as we're seeing more and more the effect on ones mental well being after killing (often innocent) people is much the same.....

Great post, thanks!

Because they don't care about our Troops. And don't want us to know the truth. They want you to believe the sh~~ they put out.

good post kenny, thanks!

Sometimes days go by with small mention of the conflicts bleeding the life out of the sons and daughters who serve as well as everyone and everything else caught up within the various maelstroms throughout the world. The military industrial complex has silenced or misconstrued much over the years and the majority of news media rest in ignorant bliss imposed upon them by corporate ownership and dependence. The Don McCullins of the world stand apart with their ability and effort to show a different reality than that of the one percent. This is a very good post because sometimes pictures speak better and louder than words. Thanks Kennymotown.'' REMEMBER VIETNAM!''

The media has taken the truth and made it their own most certainly. Thanks Kenny for the perspective.

Yes, our press should be showing/telling the American people what the true cost of war is--like in the days of Walter Cronkite and Vietnam war. That truth lead to the eventual end of Vietnam. The difference is that the MSM is controlled by corporate America now, which has a vested interest in keeping the war machine going. I feel great sympathy for the soldiers who continue to be fed into the meat grinder of these wars with repeated deployments, the "back door draft". I understand that many are truly patriotic young men and women and others that have joined the military out of financial necessity because of the economic state of things in this country. But by now, the truth of what the MIC does to soldiers in this volunteer army should be well known. There is enough evidence to show even the most patriotic of our citizenry that once you put your name on the dotted line, you have given your existence over to these people who don't care if you live or die or are maimed. They don't care if you come back in a body bag during your 6th deployment. To the Masters of War it is about profit and nothing more and the human cost means nada in their corporate equation. It's time to put your weapons down and study war no more as MLK said so eloquently. At this point it is only getting yourself and future generations of patriotic young men and women killed for the financial benefit of the MIC.

Their is no such thing as a open quilt free war. If war was in the open to be seen society would be too sickened to allow it. How are we supposed to get our new fangled gadgets we take for granted then. By peace

Conveniently we were shown the pictures and video of 911 and people jumping to their deaths, that eventually became censored. But the revenge mindset from that fateful day served it's purpose. With the Bush administrations censoring of even the dead soldiers coming back from war, the MIC was able to hide the human cost of our soldiers. Reporting from Vietnam eventually gave the public a stomach full of death and destruction that helped get us out of that insane war. Corporate Media learned from their mistakes from that war so it continues. Why aren't we given the chance to see what our tax dollars are being used for? That should be very easy to answer!
