"@poppers: Too bad the US government doesn't view the Marines as precious lives. The government acts like they respect military, but in reality anyone in the military is viewed as just another tank or gun owned by the government."
It's always been that way no matter whose government it is. All soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines worldwide are considered expendable so long as they serve to maintain their government's agenda. It's a worldwide con game perpetrated upon each nation's citizens, and until every nation's people collectively do something about it war will never end. Think that will happen? Not anytime soon, if ever, because that will necessitate a complete change in the consciousness of humanity. In the meantime we will continue to kill eachother so that a few can benefit from it and continue the con. And who benefits? It's not just governments but the military industrial complex.
"Don't believe me? Google experiments by the government where military were used as guinea pigs, without even informed consent. Just another collective if you ask me, where the individual means nothing."
Yes, it's sad but true.
