Attention U.S. Military: You are Being Demonized

It’s now becoming overt. The meme emanating rapidly from the mainstream media is that the U.S. military is a threat to the nation! It sounds very 1984 and backwards, but what isn’t these days. What really captured my attention is a very clever and dangerous article published by Reuters titled “U.S. Army battling racists within its own ranks.” It sounds benign enough at first and as you continue to read it all seems pretty reasonable. Who wants crazy racists running around the armed forces? Nobody. That said, there is a tone throughout that clearly attempts to make the sheeple public suspicious about returning veterans, which is bothersome in its own right considering these young men and women are being sacrificed daily by the elite power structure that would never dip their dainty little toes anywhere near any action.

Still, the article didn’t really get me concerned until the section where they discuss a presentation that the U.S. Army itself is apparently showing to its own troops. Reuters watched this presentation and they write:

“The standard hateful message has not been replaced, just packaged differently with issues like freedom of speech, anti-gun control themes, tax reform and oppression,” the presentation says, noting that recruitment may be difficult to detect, occurring quietly “in bars and break areas” on bases.

How did a story highlighting the fact that you have skin heads and gang members who have infiltrated the military that includes stats to show that these guys are by far a minority in the military turn into demonization? Sounds more like the author is the only one trying to fool the "sheeple". The story seemed pretty clear cut to me.

Those damn pesky issue like "freedom of speech", taxation, second amendment protections, and heavy handed government oppression. better get a hnadle on that QUICK, before "we, the people" start think we acually are supposed to be FREE. And that the government SERVES the people, not the other way around.....
