Our military was once viewed with great respect around the world, seen as a power used for the most part to back up American values. Today it’s often viewed with great disdain around the world, seen as a power used for the most part to back up American corporate interests.

I believe Howard Zinn would disagree with that statement but it's only a supposition.

Bankers fund all wars. It is rarely for a just cause. Did the US army stop the genocide in Rwanda ?

Sadly it's become the enforcement arm of a Dark Money profit machine in association with Big Energy and the Big Security Complex machine. They own the House/Senate. So how to break the strangle hold? Any ideas anyone?

Let's face it … nowadays American "values" are in the tank. Look at who are being held up to the world as role models. America today is mostly a nation of victims not leaders. Thank goodness corporate interests are keeping the US globally relevant.

Which country is the perfect one? Disdain? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It is because these people don’t wear uniforms anymore. They are working for the private corporations!

It’s not just the US Military that’s seen with distain. It’s the US Government, no matter who in the one party is in power. The US are the terrorists of the world. Makes me sick.

Trump fixed it, now it’s going downhill fast with Budumb (Obama) back in charge. Viewed as weak and misguided....
