Thread:Comments:US military brig officials order whistle-blowing suspect to sleep naked/This is absurd/reply (10)

You are deeply confused if you believe that members of the US military "take a oath and become property of the government". "Our enemies" already know that the United States kills civilians and attacks journalists. They already know that there are ulterior motives for US military adventures - They don't need to be convinced of these things, they witness them on a daily basis. The fact is, Islamic terrorism would evaporate if the United States had a foreign policy that respected the economic sovereignty of Petroleum-rich nations, balanced Palestinian rights with those of Israelis, and strove for equitable relations and dialogue rather than imperial hegemony and confrontation. The lack of transparency, collusion with multinational corporations and clandestine dealings which shape the United States's Foreign Policy are the greatest threat to democracy our Republic has faced in its 235 year history.
