When Soldier's Question and Quit.

by Joe B.

Before Fiefdom’s, Chieftain’s, knights, squires, Duke’s, Princes, King’s, and the rest of royalty.

Warrior’s were the backbone, first and last defense of principalities and Monarchies.

As always they led rough, lusty usually short lives.

Loyalty meant giving up luxuries of merchants or even the poorest of citizens living in animals tents, huts of straw, mud, and wood or home hewn from solid rock.

War taught warriors that most leaders unless they were once warriors themselves don’t know what real battle and bloodlust fever or bezerker in do or die and in death and dying means in the of white heat of hell killing being killed by enemies.

Friends die by your side, in front of you taking someone else’s club, ax, mace, sword, blade, cannon ball, bullets, grenade, booby traps, tortured as a prisoner, escape and if they survive their physical and mental wounds.

Trying not to remember horrors survived to be Mr. Mrs. Ms. nobody but when he/she is or close friends, relatives are threatened the long buried profession battle weary warrior, soldier, military training returns until the battle is won or lost.

As for today’s military personnel with every kind of multi national co. ,quasi– paramilitary Intel.

Even before intensive training they know more from past, present and near future history.

Women too, a sisterhood so far back before warrior saw father’s, friends, son’s, brother’s, husband’s dead and dying and as nurses, and soldier’s in their own more than earned the right to question war’s cost.

When parent’s, female and male soldier’s question:

"Why The Fuck Are We At War, There Are Few If Any Advantages To It.

Government leader must scramble for excuses for if military men and women logically question all automatic assumptions some are accused of being Un-American.

There is pressure on all soldier’s whatever rank from buck private to five star general to follow orders yet when orders make no sense they do not have to be but iy must be proved in strict military fashion.

This is the genius of the military, now they must protect their country against a more dangerous domestic threat of an out of control President, his cronies, while watching out for real foreign threats within and without in America’s Sphere of influence.

The Military has vast experience fighting on two fronts though this time they may have to not fight, say no to the greatest concentration of civilian power.

Siding with citizen’s they have pledged to protect and not what seems a rogue government rattling sabers for a war not needed.

What can soldier’s do but obey unless like a police officer's blue flu they have a similar tactic of Khaki ooze (an ailment keeps military personnel in barracks, at home or anywhere else so far from frontline fighting that war cannot be waged at all.)

They probably have better plans than an non military type as myself to prevent all out war on another people’s foreign soil.

The full stories of soldiering has not been told and as long war goes on their stories will always be half told with secrets submerged.

American citizen’s need help from men and women at arms, their brother, sisterhood combined.

With citizen’s mobilization against the war could be the only way to stop ‘Prez B’s Juggernaut of
escalating Mass Destructive that will devastate both the Middle East and take both our domestic, foreign and economy to a bottom trashing whatever emerging applied technology to improve the health of all people’s for outdate, obsolete oil preserves.

I could be wrong but I think this is a turning point of our civilization.

Can we turn away from our destructive capabilities and toward creative ones.

Any country can kill from afar with bombs, poison gas, turning cities into rubble, neighborhoods into mass graveyards.

Let’s see countries with all types of planes military and domestic dropping bio and inanimate nano-probes that from blue prints rebuild and improve destroyed buildings with artificial intelligence which are harmless to humans.

the bio parts of nanites enter dead and broken bodies of citizens rebuilding, repairing, tissue inside out until the whole being is alive, well, and free of injuries.

The dead that cannot be helped are rebuild repaired whole so friends, relatives can bury them properly.

Until our country can take back life from death’s grip we are just more efficient killer’s that’s all.

Any questions, answers send them below and thanks for taking precious time to read my humble though mostly unseen work; it helps more you folks will ever know. Bye.
