All Bow! The General Speaketh!
This person is General Casey. He was in charge of Foot Hood where a member of the U.S. Military (a psychiatrist no less) recently killed 13 people and wounded 38 others. The psychiatrist, a Muslim, had spent years trying to unbend the bent troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan war zones. His final answer was to shoot some of them!
General Casey, during a news conference about the terrible massacre at his own base, exhorted Obama to send more troops to Afghanistan so the killing there could be expanded. Ironic, eh? How much killing is enough?
Please look carefully at the General’s face. It is not a face that shows compassion or gentleness. It is clearly the hard face of a man who enjoys killing. It is the face of a man who loves the thrill of war, who, from a safe distance, loves sending young soldiers into battle, who talks knowledgeably about things like collateral damage, who calls in air strikes to crush any opposition, etc .
I wonder if the thought has ever entered the General’s tiny mind that killing other humans is rather disgusting, that it is dehumanizing, that it merely creates enemies and hatred. Probably not! After all, he is part of both the military-industrial complex and the political-military complex.
His pay and rank is based on successfully conducting war and invasions and occupations and torture and rendition. Peace is not a word that he relishes. To him it is anathema! Peace, for him, contradicts everything he stands for, everything he lives for, everything he has spent his life doing.
There are many like General Casey in this world. And there are many more that, though they don’t do the actual killing, profit from war and killing and have blood on their hands including the blood of children.
Only humans engage in war. It clearly shows us what we are!
SOCRATES: AN ICON.
DRIVEN AS IT IS BY AN EXTREME RELIGIOUS, MILITARIST, RACIST, CORPORATIST, GREED-BASED IDEOLOGY, THE U.S. MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE WORLD!
I’ve been under the impression that ants also engage in war, after all some are called soldier ants.
I’d be willing to bet that if soldiers had to wait until the age of 36 to enlist & make it illegal to
let anyone under that age & under an IQ of say 85 that the armed forces would dwindle.
I’d like to start a movement to disband ALL military forces. These standing armies, navies and airforces seem to be an irresistable temptation to those whos’ power includes using them as pawns in chess matches. Nobody wins, especially unarmed civilians.
I’ll never understand how Goldstone or Amnesty Int. or Human Rights Watch can equate
Hamas (which has no military to speak of) with the USA supported & armed Israeli cossacks.

Kate, war between ants doesn’t leave whole countries destroyed and people dying from the effects of depleted uranium for centuries!
War, for humans, has become a business, a dirty business, an immoral business. And the world’s greatest warmonger is America closely followed by Britain, Israel and Australia!

That is because Goldstone, and the officers of Amnesty, Int. and Human Rights Watch, are Jews. Check out the jewish tribal review website, for the lists of all the organizations that are headed by Jews.

Allow me to compare the today America to Hitler Germany.
In april 1940 when Denmark was occupied by Hitler Germany most people were outraged but underneath the surface (alike the today growing anti islamophobi in European countries) many also then, were quite convinced that Hitler ,with his obvious abilities to put people to work, to get people to exercise their lounging bodies etc. ‘ actually was the future. (the fair new world)
Same way today, the people in the occupied countries of today Iraq, Afghanistan is
divided between those who believes in a American future (the land of the free) .
Those people (the followers – as much as the occupier) is to blame why wars starts – and why they seldom stops before, or if a higher might steps in.
Although I totally agree with what KATE BATES has written:

MY POINT IS:
‘wars’ is fought between PEOPLE and NOT between COUNTRIES. (as Presidents wants to assume.)
I think the Fort Hoot incidence substantiate this observation/claim.

Hello David… glad to hear from you again and hope all is well in your life. I reference to your post… asswipes such as this General Casey have no soul which is evident by what he represents. Only a being of such sinister ways can live with what he has done. The shell of the person that you see photographed is empty. Of that I am sure!

Coffee, the powers that be are trying to make constant war seem like our natural state. It’s time we told them to take a running jump!
John, war is fought between bitterly opposed ‘vested interests’ who are trying to gain control of the world and its people. Their game must be stopped.
LT, Casey, like many, is completely programmed. Problem is that he, like many, doesn’t realize it!
Humans, like children, can be programmed so easily. Most believe whatever they’re told.
P.S. I’ve had a few setbacks in my treatment. Hopefully it will start in the New Year. I’ve given up worrying about it now! I think I’m better to keep my mind busy rather than to focus too hard on my own problems.

Thank you for your clear explanation of what Casey’s face is, David G.

Here in the US the victims of the Fort Hood shooting are on then news endlessly. We hear all about them and their families until we feel like we know them, expecially if the local news can make a connection. I wish, though I know it will never happen, that the news media would focus as much on the victims of our aggressions. That they would tell the truth about what our government is doing to millions of innocent people around the world. About how we all have blood on our hands.

Jeannie, I wrote a post (but deleted it) about how some of the thirteen were stopped from again killing numbers of people in Afghanistan and Iraq because they themselves were killed. I think the title was: THE MURDERERS MURDERED BEFORE THEY COULD MURDER AGAIN.
It’s time we saw saw soldiers for what they are: trained killers who do the bidding of the nation regardless of the immorality and injustice involved.
