The Israelis claim to have, “the most moral army on earth”, yet the shear nerve of stating such an obvious lie can stun some people. People believe the US to have a moral army, but of course that’s complete and utter bullshit (especially when CIA Operations are involved). There is NO glory, and a serious lack of morals in war.
Let me tell you about one of the most decorated combat veterans who served the US, Audie Murphy. You may remember him as an actor, but that occurred after he fought in WW2. He rushed and took machine gun emplacements, rallied other men, saved countless lives of fellow soldiers; and he was not steeped in glory in his head. Audie Murphy equated his experience with going to Hell, and in the years after he slept with a pistol under his pillow, and became addicted to alcohol and certain drugs (of which he had the courage to get himself to quit). He also had the slight benefit of fighting in a war which has been considered righteous, if you forget the history which created it.
Rubicon was highly decorated, but he was fighting in secret proxy wars that had no other purpose than projecting power because of an obsession with communism, thievery, and a false drug war. He also had the courage to leave alcohol behind. Rubicon’s father-in-law was an infantryman assigned to a tank corp. He also had the courage to retrieve himself from alcohol. He felt no glory killing. He used to say he couldn’t hate the Germans because he could see they were “poor slobs just like me trying to stay alive”.
Lovers of the military like to point to it as an opportunity, but the only opportunity it provides for combat veterans is the chance to “do or die”. The military has one single purpose: to kill. Boys and men who find themselves within the grasp of this shredding machine understand that when you are placed in the field of battle your only choice left is kill or be killed. The will to live is paramount, but men have been known to walk directly into fire because they couldn’t take it anymore. Men have been known to shoot themselves in order to be ejected from the killing machine. Men have been known to purposefully shoot around and above those they are ordered to attack because they couldn’t stand the thought of killing other humans.
As bullets whiz past you, as bombs explode, as shells explode, as you witness bodies destroyed, as you witness and feel pain beyond imagination, as you witness innocent civilians (men, women, children) suffer for the sake of power and being number 1, you know damn well this is no “opportunity”. The only thing nature provides you from this killing is guilt; that guilt is meant to help, and provide humanity a chance to grow, and we have been failing miserably, mostly because civilians enjoy patriotic power and sucking military cock. How many times I’ve heard civilians say, “Thank you for your service”, and I want to slap the shit out of them or just say, “Fuck you”. Do you want to be praised by an ignorant cunt who can’t even bother to read and discover why these wars, conflicts, and actions are taking place?
Wounded Warrior Project does provide some help to those that are damaged; but they do more harm than good when they insist on convincing those wounded veterans to consider themselves “warriors”. They had a commercial where a vet (past 9/11) who had lost his legs states that he proudly gave those legs for US. That’s propaganda nonsense. As WWP has obtained more and more corporate funding for that which the VA is responsible, the propaganda nonsense has grown.
The same applies to the Rush program in Chicago. As they team with WWP and those corporate sponsors, they have drastically changed their message from doing what the VA refuses to do, to calling all vets “warriors”:
Much of this is due to government propaganda, and yes, it IS propaganda. The VA, DoD, veteran “help” programs from WWP to Rush, with major funding from corporations, have ALL started calling ALL vets (of whatever experience) “Warriors”. A military psychiatrist (VA) has written she is a “warrior” just like her patients (men who have actually been in combat and have ALL the mental gifts that come along with it). A military psychologist has self-described himself as an in-the-know “warrior” because he completed Ranger training (yet he’s NEVER been in combat!). I know that many men have completed SEAL training, and then quit, just so they could say they did it, like they’re somehow special, as though it’s like an obstacle course; and, sooner or later, they start describing themselves as combat veterans.
X Rubicon – Memorial Day
Absolutely 0% of the US violence since the supposed end of WW2 has ANY basis in reason or justice. Presidents lie, and lie, and lie, and lie. CIA Operations follow the President’s lead; and the more trustworthy analysts aren’t allowed to meet with the President; which should tell you how much bullshit is being spread for falsifications. Before 9/11 we slaughtered millions; after 9/11 we slaughtered 4.5 million more.
If you want to understand better how CIA Operations act as loose cannons, read these excellent articles:

X Rubicon w/ Spailpin (Arthur McBride
Sean Griobhtha (gree-O-tah) is a combat veteran. His latest book is X Rubicon: Crossing Life, Sex, Love, & Killing in CIA Proxy Wars: An indictment of US Citizens: ignorantia non excusat, which details the life of Rubicon, another combat veteran. You can find him mostly on SubStack. He can be reached at O.Griobhtha+XRubicon@gmail.com.
Rubicon spent just under three years as a military Scout. During that time he was awarded the “AF Cross, 2 Silver Stars, 4 Bronze Stars, Defense Superior Service Medal, AF Good Conduct Medal, and the CIA Distinguished Service Medal” (ODNI). When he refused to kill further, he was stripped of these awards and was abandoned with his PTSD by the military and thrown away.
Really important reading. This should be the kind of veterans’ voice we see more of.
Years ago, I watched something, maybe it was on 60 Minutes? I can't remember. I was so disturbed by it, and I can still remember the content. It was showing the training (mostly screaming at and demeaning), interviewing young soldiers, and generals were talking about having to break the spirit of the soldier to mold them to follow orders. There were other people in the room, and I was the only one that was a bit horrified. Everyone else didn't see anything wrong with what they were seeing and tried to justify how "breaking the spirit" was necessary because it turned these young men into soldiers who did exactly as they were instructed. I saw it as young men that were verbally and emotionally abused by people without a conscience. That's probably the wrong way to think about it, but what I watched has stuck with me all these years.
