U.S. keeps killing abroad

Thanks to antiwar.com for a powerful article about the women and children who are being murdered - and then ignored by the U.S. mainstream media - by the U.S. armed forces as it chases down bad guys. The next Bin Laden is already alive and has hatred in his heart for what the U.S. military did to his family. An easy recruit for terrorists - no tough sell there. Time to listen to Ron Paul and leave the world alone.

Taxpayers pay $800,000 for Mickey Mouse figurines

In this amazing article, you can read about how the U.S. Army is paying Disney, yes, Disney, $800,000 to train doctors and hospital staff on customer service. Why would anyone working in a hospital need training on how to humanely treat people? Isn't that why people go into the health care profession, because they want to help people? Unfortunately, the training does not address the root cause of the problems (socialized army medicine) so the training will have little to no impact.

At least everyone who attended this quite expensive training, paid for by the U.S. taxpayer, got a Mickey Mouse figurine.

Suicide soldiers

Not only did America invade a nation that couldn't attack us, not only have almost 4,000 soldiers died, not only are almost 30,000 soldiers permanently maimed, not only have we spent over $2 trillion on Iraq and Afghanistan - now, soldiers are committing suicide at an alarming rate, as you can read in this article. Almost five soldiers every day try to kill themselves.

What did we get out of this war again? Peace? No. Prosperity? No. Less Americans hurt and killed? No. Better standing in the world? No. What did we get out of this war again?
