Can someone explain to me how our soldiers are fighting for our freedom? if we pulled all troops from Afghanistan or anywhere in the world today how would our freedom be less? To me it seems the the MIC has waged the most successful brain washing campaign in the history of propaganda on the US citizens. If you question this idea you are not a patriot. I can see how they are protecting the economic freedom of our corporations that is clear but does that equal our freedom? Am I less free if I have to pay more for something or I just cannot have it at any price? Constitutionally speaking.
