Texas Air National Guardsmen spy on their fellow citizens. You have to wonder about the integrity of the people who chose/stay in the military.

After a while I would think reality would become obvious: Drug dealer cell phones aren’t the main target. We are killing one hundred times more civilians than terrorists in Iraq, Syria, Yemen.  Those convoys that get blasted are often, wedding parties, funerals, family gatherings. Their actions do far more harm than good and only recruit more terrorists.

A few villagers get machine gunned from a helicopter, the residents that come their aid get machine gunned, the Reuters photog cover the scene gets it too. That much fun should be illegal.

No doubt some in the military have swallowed the line they are preserving freedom and saving the world.  It shouldn’t take a lot to figure out the real story. If there was any conscience involved you would think it would kick in after a while.

Would you rather be spying on your fellow Americans, in Iraq in a  C-130 gunship leveling entire villages or out looking for honest work?

Easy weekend money, play with big boy toys, the power trip and maybe a guiltless (I was ordered to go) field trip to really tear things up. That much fun is fun and legal- for some.
