Very well written! The ultimate tribute to America's fallen is to reduce the chances that more servicemembers fall into that category.........which is exactly the opposite of what Lindsey Graham is doing in Ukraine........ :(
They need to be on there own frontline while we recieve justice for the mass manipulation missing documents its callatrual damage to these luni ees cos thats what they are if you ant got cptsd at this point you ant alien or you refuse to be manipulated by men in discuise goverment false charities american aid false treaties what else will drop magically out of pandoras box??
And that is why you will get the boot from the people of Eastern Europe, (and perhaps the Middle East too), my friend. We see perfectly clearly that we are Untermensch to you, that our lives are worthless and dispensable.
If only all of our politicians were like Tulsi, The USA would be murdering people around the world in the corrupt military she supports. Yep, just what we want our so-called leaders to be.
She isn't a warmonger, she understands the value and necessity for a strong military. It is a good thing to have ppl of conscious guiding our policies. She IS just what we need. Would you defend your home if needed?
Read my reply above and then take note: Memorial Day and Veteran's day both fall into the same bucket of scum. And Tulsi was glorifying memorial day and her being a part of the invading criminals that went Iraq.
It’s an upside down world. Yep, our veterans have invaded other countries around the world, destroyed their infrastructures, depleted their resources, put sanctions on them and set up puppet leaders under the US control. They have taken their spoils and produced a better standard of living inside the US borders. Then they tell these people that have nothing left to not come to this country and stay home and correct the problems there, that our order following veterans produced in the first place. And we owe our veterans for this?
US veterans have done you and I no favors. As order followers they have murdered around the world. One of the sacred myths promulgated on Veteran’s Day by U.S. officials, especially those in the deep state (i.e., the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA), is that American soldiers have fought and died for freedom. It’s all false propaganda, however, as an examination of each foreign war in which U.S. soldiers have fought and died will easily show.
.
The Spanish-American War. That war had nothing to do with protecting the freedom of the American people. It was all about converting the United States into an empire, one with colonies, just like the Spanish Empire and British Empire. Thus, U.S soldiers who fought and died in the Philippines were simply trying to suppress the Philippine independence movement, which never threatened the freedom of the American people.
World War I. Germany never attacked the United States. The U.S. government intervened in a European war with the aim of “making the world safe for democracy” and in the hope that U.S. intervention would make this the world’s final war, both of which were extremely foolhardy goals. In any event, American freedom was never at stake.
World War II. Neither Germany nor Japan wanted war with the United States. President Roosevelt maneuvered and cornered Japan into attacking the United States in order to give him a “back door” to entering the European conflict. The sole aim of the Japanese was to knock out the U.S. fleet at Hawaii, in the hope of preventing U.S. interference with its seizure of oil fields in the Dutch East Indies to fuel its war machine in Korea. Japan was never going to try to invade and conquer the United States. Meanwhile, Germany could not even cross the English Channel to invade England. American freedom was never at stake.
Korean War. This was nothing more than a civil war, one in which North Korea used force in an attempt to unify the country. American freedom was never at stake.
Vietnam War. This too was nothing more than a civil war, one in which North Vietnam used force in an attempt to unify the country. American freedom was never at stake.
Iraq War I and Iraq War II. Iraq never attacked the United States or even threatened to do so. American freedom was never at stake. “Operation Iraqi Freedom” didn’t even bring freedom to the Iraqi people, as demonstrated by the current dictatorial regime’s killing of Iraqi people for demonstrating against its corruption.
Afghanistan War. Afghanistan never attacked the United States or even threatened to do so. At worst, the Taliban regime had permitted accused terrorist Osama bin Laden to live there. American freedom was never at stake.
Syria. Syria has never attacked the United States or even threatened to do so. American freedom is not at stake.
Yemen. Yemen has never attacked the United States or even threatened to do so. American freedom is not at stake.
Although Americans were treated on Veteran’s Day to the standard propaganda that U.S. soldiers have fought, sacrificed, and died for freedom in America’s many foreign wars, the propaganda is patently false. U.S. soldiers, many of whom were conscripted, have fought, sacrificed, killed, and died for empire and intervention, both of which are contrary to the principles of a free society.
I think you can't see the big picture. Japan did attack the US. Our allies needed our help in both "great wars" and the success of Hitler would have been a disaster for us too. The spread of socialism/communism is not a good thing. The goal of the Korean war was simply to help south Korea remain free from communist rule.
I get it that you hate America. You make that clear. I'm not defending every military action or even every soldier.
Let’s look at the big picture. There were no great wars except the scale of murder of men by me. Read the book by the most decorated American general in WW1 (“War is a Racket”may Smedley Butler).
Japan was pushed and shoved by the American Government and then were allowed to attack Pearl Harbor to get the US populace excited enough to join the ridiculous war for the benefit of the bankers and military complex. FDR was alerted to the the attack at least 8 times. His response? He did not warn his generals that were in the harbor. He moved his main ships to safety out of the harbor and allowed the slaughter of people left there. Then to add to the immorality he imprisoned thousands of US citizens and took all their property, businesses and rights away, just because their parents were born in the wrong country. Check (Japanese Americans 1942)
Later when the Japanese were willing to surrender, The US Bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki and murdered countless civilian lives simply as a show of power. On the other front, after the surrender of the Germans, the Americans Bombed Dresden Germany, slaughtering thousands of innocent people for no moral purpose at all.
Now let’s look at Germany. Germany could not run a war without finances. So who stepped up to help in that aspect? The USA financed much of Hitlers needs for WW2. Also Hitler could not get his planes off the ground without a special type of fuel that only two companies had access to. Standard oil stepped up and supplied the fuel. ( American JD Rockefeller -company owner). Henry Ford supplied engines for Hitler’s military trucks. Coca Cola, General motors, IBM and others contributed to the NAZI REGIME. People don’t even look at this history or they don’t care. Korea was spawned by the hatred of one type of mind control (government ) towards another. It had things happen just as they did in the Viet Nam war like the Mi lai massacre. Do people even care about these terrible slaughters committed by the USA?
I am not proud to be a murder of my fellow man and a liar that is voted in world wide polls each year as the greatest threat to world peace. That is what an American is. So I am not proud to be an American. If you can find any way shape or form that the US government implements the golden rule, I would like to hear it, but That simply doesn’t exist.
I appreciate your words Tulsi. We are a Gold Star family. Memorial Day is no longer about bbq’s, sales, or the start of summer for us, but a somber day to honor our son and all those that didn’t come home. Thank you for your service. I am a Republican, but have always admired your honesty, courage and standing up for what’s right, regardless of the party.
I am eighty five years young and I do not remember a time we were truly at peace. We send young people in “Harms Way” and forget them when they are damaged or killed. Why?
Dear Tulsi, I admire you for your courage, sacrifice and commitment to serving our country. As a veteran and son and nephew of veterans, I dedicate this day to imagine an America that is not trying to be the policeman of the world. A nation that is at peace and concerned taking care of its own peoples’ needs.
Beautiful, Tulsi. I’m a 76 yo combat Vietnam Army veteran who served attached to the 3rd Marines, 101st ABN & the 5th Mechanized Infantry, 69-70. Ever since that time in my 20s, I’ve questioned every military adventure our troops have been deployed to, without any hope or belief of victory. On this day I mourn the loss of fellow armed forces but also our fellow ARVN soldiers and Vietnamese civilians who I feel we betrayed. We must, as a people, forbid our politicians from engaging in military operations that don’t serve America’s best interests.
It is all here, Warrior-Sister. "God Bless us, every one!"
"I ran toward my family, and into the arms of my dad first. As we held each other tight, my dad cried.
I had never seen him cry before. It was at that moment that the weight of my service on their hearts became clear.
The way to honor our troops who sacrificed their lives for our country is to prevent unnecessary, costly wars which will result in the deaths of many more of our brothers and sisters in uniform."
Thank you Congresswoman Gabbard. I have such respect for you and your service. My Grandpa Vincenzo Gioia served in WWI as an Italian immigrant. My Dad Vincent Joy (Gioia) served in WWII, and my brother and son are Marines. My wife recently retired from.25 years of service in the Army. I have always been a patriotic person, and chose to serve in Christian ministry as my calling. God bless you. Let's keep the truth out there!
When you are twenty-something, you are embarking on a great adventure and do not fully appreciate the meaning of mom's tears. It came home to roost when my son was in Desert Storm and two infantry tours in Iraq. However, I realized that he was living his adventure also! Life goes on. When America runs out of those who choose these 'adventures', it is over.
When Washington looses new recruits to do to Dc’s was they will start up the draft again. War is good for business and that’s what Congress really cares about.
Thank you, Colonel. Those of us in my neighborhood fly our flags early and pray for God’s grace. I vow to never forget our brother’s and sister’s sacrifice. And the oath we all took upon entering service.
Thank you for this sober and sobering final salute, Tulsi.
I’ve just shared this to Notes, accompanied by this intro:
@Tulsi Gabbard is the rarest kind of politician—one who lives by her words. She pays more than lip service to the soldiers whose lives have been senselessly sacrificed for regime change wars, for avarice, for lies. As a former soldier herself, she understands the cost of war, and, like @Cindy Sheehan, she is dedicated to defending innocent lives from the whims of the narcissistic psychopaths who callously think of them as “collateral damage.” (https://substack.com/profile/35383324-margaret-anna-alice/note/c-16686617)
Tulsi, you no doubt know who Casey Sheehan is. Today would have been his 44th birthday had he not been martyred at the age of 24 for a war waged by tyrants on a pack of lies.
Below is a post sharing Cindy’s words spoken at the grave of her son in 2017:
Very well written! The ultimate tribute to America's fallen is to reduce the chances that more servicemembers fall into that category.........which is exactly the opposite of what Lindsey Graham is doing in Ukraine........ :(
To your point, Graham is vile - https://twitter.com/upholdreality/status/1662556104444846082?s=20
Warmongers gonna warmonger, always.
And we thought WWI was the “War to End All Wars!”
Politicians who honor fallen soldiers while pushing for more wars are hypocritical. True honor means preventing unnecessary conflict.
And Obiden sending our troops to Peru. (To make things worse.)
The easiest way to end war, send the ones that vote for it first.
They need to be on there own frontline while we recieve justice for the mass manipulation missing documents its callatrual damage to these luni ees cos thats what they are if you ant got cptsd at this point you ant alien or you refuse to be manipulated by men in discuise goverment false charities american aid false treaties what else will drop magically out of pandoras box??
Or only send those over 50 yrs old.
I've already served thank you, lol. Unfortunately if we filled out military with those pansy butts and traitors we'd be worse off.
Send us where exacly ?
Very VERY much the opposite.
And that is why you will get the boot from the people of Eastern Europe, (and perhaps the Middle East too), my friend. We see perfectly clearly that we are Untermensch to you, that our lives are worthless and dispensable.
Tulsi, your voice is the voice of reason. Keep doing what you are doing and stay blessed always.

I am eighty five years young and I do not remember a time we were truly at peace. We send young people in “Harms Way” and forget them when they are damaged or killed. Why?
Because we have no GOD
