Get a Clue, Flag Wavers

Dave and Kevin are angry. But they have selected the wrong targets.

One says that US vets "serve their country." This is untrue. They serve the bloated monied interests who own and operate the United States. They serve the interests of the rich men who send the poor and the workers to fight their wars.

Iraqi and Vietnamese fighters are "enemies" of the rapacious expoliters who want their oil and to control the world, but not of the vast majority of the American people.

We need to start celebrating the Irish-American troops who realized that they were fighting for US empire and went over to fight FOR the beseiged Mexicans in 1848. We ought to celebrate the African-Americans like David Fagan who led Filipino resistance fighters against racist US aggressors in 1900.

Having absorbed the bogus history taught in the flag waving books of US chauvanism, don't remain on that deadly course by believing what the George Bush's and Wolf Blitzer's of the world tell you.
