As a soldier myself, I would NOT recommend to anyone that enlisting right now is a good idea. The regime that controls the military has other agenda than making the USA a safe place to live. I enlisted for what I consider the right reasons. It was not long after 9/11 and I felt that we had been wronged. I believed that going into Afghanistan to remove the Taliban from power was our right and duty as Americans. Now, I am often ashamed of my uniform. While I love my country and would be happy to defend it, I feel sick to know that myself and others like me are sent off to war in another country to save the asses of others that care not at all for us.
But, that's not what this thread is about. I still don't quite get how any theory against a current group is a paranoid conspiracy theory.
However, in response to the "Mods that Be"... it's not a Bush thing. I am not a party-minded person. There have been great Republicans (and still are). There have been great Democrats (and still are). I don't much care for Bush, but if it was Gore or Clinton or Badnarik or anyone else that was in his seat, and the same things were occuring, than I would have the same post (sans the clever title perhaps?).
And yes, all politicians have a claw or tooth stuck in them from somewhere. I don't agree with it, but it DOES seem to be the case. However, letting those interests interfere entirely with the interests of the American people is not acceptable. The presidency should not be a tool for ANYONE to gain wealth, it should be a position of power to help guide the nation to greatness.
