I believe the collective consciousness knows Roger’s song as the truth, but we have been taught to not say a word.
I think it is important to question the spoon fed narrative about the nature of wars/ science/ history/ and information.
The real problem is we are not taught to critically think about or question our respective narratives. The lucky ones are he ones who slip through the cracks, but for that “privilege” they are forced to walk alone.
Beautiful and extremely relevant song!!! Thanks Roger Waters ..
BUT exactly WHAT are you bringing these boys home to!!!
– record unemployment in many regions
– rising food prices and shortages
– hanging out in abandoned, rotten housing in Detroit, Flint etc, while being ripped off by the ever present vulture bankers-real estate scumbags..Or relax in the tent cities on the west coast excrement covered side walks..
– kids attending under-staffed, underfunded and crime ridden public schools delivering bone-bare literary and arithmetic skills
– getting razor high interest *student loans* that you could NOT repay even with all the flatulent promises from the Pentagon..finding a job!!!
– let alone for Post-traumatic-stress and even those minor social psychological hiccups the assistance rendered by the Pentagon, Public health system will be minimal to Zero…
Grunts – send a big kiss to the departed psychopath and *Viet hero..* John Mcaine for that..
– working as *coolie labour* /KU-LI/ for Amazon, Walmart, Bezos concerns etc.,, burying so-called COVID victims in unmarked graves.
Perhaps even picking´Monsanto blessed cotton and learning Spanish at the same time!!
– contradicting the local news media about what is really happening on those bases with the CIA and psyched out PMCs running the show…
Whoo.. rocking the sinking boat.. that Stinking and Sinking Titanic!!!
– MOST IMPORTANTLY, Biden, Trump, Bush, Clinton, CIA and the Swamp DO NOT want you back – with all your expectations, frustrations, hopes and even in some cases fine-tuned military and survival skills supporting civil-disobedience, vigilantes, Christian-zionist fruitcakes and pissed off neighbourhoods…
NO SIREE, because Japanese, Korean, German, Italian, Australian, Greenland-DK, Norwegian, Polish, Kosovo, Quatar, Saudi etc.,vassal puppet states are even paying mega-$$$ to keep your majority of sub-IQ grunts in their colonies. /exclude Syria and most of Iraq from that lot../
Hell no…. the vets we have now are already going ballistic… you stay on those 800 plus bases, especially the biological research facilities and SHUT the F… UP…
Excellent points! For an economy built on warfare, bringing the boys back home and pulling the plug on military expenditures would result in short term disaster. Just as designed.
Speaking truth to empire, in this case the AngloZionist Empire, is important. Problem is, the Empire always consigns that speech to the world of entertainment, something not to be taken seriously. The Mighty Wurlitzer just blares on with the “official” mythology that makes the USA a beacon of light and our troops valiantly fighting for our “freedoms” all over the planet.
This isn’t a new development at all. It goes back hundreds of years to when Europeans first began to displace the indigenous in what is now called the USA. That’s why the Empire is constantly expanding, just as the European Ashkenazim are doing in what they consider to be Greater Israel, from the Nile to the Euphrates. Manifest Destiny equals Zionism equals racism, domination, and exploitation, pure and simple. If you don’t believe me, just ask any Native American or any Palestinian.
The Empire doesn’t care about the truth…so your comment is silly…
It will take an Iraq War Vet missing three limbs in a power chair riding from exit to exit holding a sign:”BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!!! during rush hour traffic on the LIE to get people to think about the US Military occupation of the Middle East…
Yes, the Empire makes its own “truth” which is the candy-coated version of the American Dream. It will never “bring the troops home” because “home” to Europeans isn’t anywhere on Turtle Island or in Palestine. If that seems “silly” to you, just ask any Native American or Palestinian to explain it to you.
Myths are indeed powerful things, Tommy. Maybe the most powerful of things, dying out only long after actual facts have proven them to be erroneous. As we’ve seen of late, mere facts are most contentious and ephemeral these days. No one can agree what they are anymore.
One quarter of Americans think the Sun goes around the Earth. Google it if you don’t believe me. That’s around 80 million Americans. Many of these folks also believe that the Earth was created exactly 6025 years ago because someone counted up the “begats” in the Bible. Yes, for these folks, facts are ephemeral, but in reality…
