Why the Desecration of the WWII Monument?
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
I want to hear from the woman who vandalized the WWII
Monument. I have an opinion, based on the actions of the worst president in
history, and our military leaders sitting on their humongous behinds inside the
safe confines of the Pentagon.
It is an irrefutable fact that Trump is a fascist dictator,
unworthy of the title of President of the United States. If the Pentagon had
refused to obey his orders, orders which clearly violate the Constitution and
are diametrically opposed to the principles of our Founding Fathers, they would
be obeying the Law of the Land and displaying the courage demonstrated by every
“grunt” who bravely fought to defend those principles in WWII.
WHAT THE F**K HAPPENDED TO THE LEADERS OF OUR FORMERLY
RESPECTED AND REVERED MILITARY FORCES?
When thinking about WWII, pictures develop in our mind of
Adolf Hitler, D-Day, and the frightening explosions over the cities of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki, among many others. The most important fact was that WWII was the “fight
to defeat the spread of fascism.”
However, something changed in the mid-twentieth century.
When our government decided to join with the leaders of
South Korea in a military conflict, America was still recovering from the losses
suffered between 1941 and 1945.
The decision to engage in another military conflict was
controversial at best, and deemed unforgivable by most.
When our leaders in Washington decided to participate in an
escalating war in Southeast Asia in the mid-1960’s, younger Americans, who
would be drafted into that war, asked questions, the biggest of which was “what
the hell are we fighting for.” That question remains unanswered today. Nearly 60,000
lives were sacrificed.
On September 11, 2001, the cowardly attacks on the Trade
Towers in New Your, the Pentagon, and the courage of American citizens on United
Airlines Flight 93 to prevent what was believed to be an attack on the White
House, continue to travel through my thoughts. All Americans wanted immediate
action to avenge our brothers and sisters who were murdered on one of the
darkest days in our nation’s history.
However, an incompetent and corrupt president failed to
accomplish those goals when Osama bin Laden was located in the hills of Tora
Bora, He ordered our military to remain in Afghanistan. This began the longest
unwinnable war in America’s history.
This same president invaded Iraq in 2003. He ordered members
of his administration to lie to the United Nations, Congress, and the American
people, falsely claiming that Iraq’s leader, Saddam Hussein, was hiding weapons
of mass destruction for Al Qaeda, the terrorist group which executed the
attacks on 9/11. The result allowed groups composed of Islamic extremists to
become stronger in the region.
This year, on February 28, America’s first dictator began a
war against the sovereign nation of Iran. This was a major violation of the
Constitution. Only Congress can declare war.
The illegal war has cost our nation more than 70 billion
dollars and the lives of men and women who followed orders from their superiors
to engage in another illegal war.
The truth is, the situation between America and Iran has
worsened since February. No justifiable reason for his decision to invade Iran
has been revealed.
ONLY ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE THE ACTIONS OF TRUMP AND THE PENTAGON
Five wars since WWII, and five losses.
The conflict in Korea remains unsettled: there has never
been a truce signed by both parties.
I will never forget the films shown on every news network in
1975 when the last members of our government and military left Saigon with
their “tales between their legs.”
A similar situation occurred in Iraq. The majority of
American forces left Iraq in 2011. A small number remain, and are scheduled to
leave this year.
In 2021, President Biden had the courage to make the
controversial decision to remove all of America’s military from Afghanistan.
Both wars were unwinnable from the beginning. Only one word
applies: failure.
Trump’s war in Iran continues, although it is undeniably
clear that America has lost another war.
THE TRUTH OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA REFUSE TO
TELL US
In the 21st century, the tactics taught in our
military academies, and in our bases designed to train young men and women
across the nation, do not receive adequate training needed to fight the type of
wars fought on foreign soil. Our enemies continue to control the direction of
these conflicts and that only leads to failure.
MY ASSUMPTION
I believe that the actions of one woman to deface the WWII
memorial were directed at your illegitimate president, and our military leaders
in protest to their illegal attacks today.
More than 400,000 of our finest men and women lost their
lives in WWII. They believed that the defeat of fascism was the most important act
in their young lives.
I leave you with one question which must be answered: “why
is the Pentagon following the illegal orders of a confirmed fascist?”
Sadly, I have no doubt that an honest answer will never come
from anyone in the Pentagon or from our corrupt leaders on Capitol Hill.
