Veterans Day Parade Marchers
November11, 2011 - Bend, Oregon We honor those who have so bravely served but also remember to not ignore the conditions which have led to our current malaise. A friend, Randolph D. Hedgebeth, commented yesterday on how "sadder and angrier" he has become with each passing Veterans Day.
He wrote:
"As a small boy I knew the importance of 'Remembering' and honoring those who died for our freedoms. From the Revolution to the Korean War it was a thing of honor to serve and revere those who served and died for us all.
Today, the day, Veterans Day, increasingly dishonors those who have fallen, for it is no longer for this country.
The Corporate interests have bought the politicians who raise, what amounts to a State operated private military establishment to serve the special interests. This 'Army' now fights illegal "wars" in which our enlisted citizenry serve and die.
Fighting for Freedom was last fought in the Korean War. Few operations since have been to serve the citizenry of this country but has been at the beck and call of increasingly global mega corporations of which the oil interests are but one."
Our military towers over all of the other governments throughout the world both in spending and operations with over 850+ bases worldwide. It is pervasive and it touches upon the lives of everyone everywhere. The adversity caused by our military actions cannot be ignored. The best use of Veterans Day is to protest against the conditions which are so harmful and devastating not only for the soldiers but for the well being of humanity. It is time to stop the flag waving and propaganda associated with Veteran's Day. It is though the misuse of patriotism that the military machine continues to corrupt and inspire a false sense of who we are. We need to seek a newer world free from the ravages of war even as we honor those who so bravely served.
