I suppose Memorial Day is a good a time as any to focus on wars and the war dead. But war is just the flame we see. What lies beneath rarely gets talked about. We’ve all been lied to about virtually everything. We do exist in a matrix and unless you can escape from it you die believing all the lies.

I rarely tell people I meet that I was in the military and if they do know or find out and thank me for my service, I usually say something like, “no need to thank me, I didn’t do it for you.” Or if they are below a certain age I tell them they weren’t even born when I “served.” Now that the military is woke and people’s feelings matter more than the mission, I’m doubtful we could even win a war. And if the entire military were transgender, I wouldn’t care that they lost. Just like all the other military/patriotic holidays that perpetuate the myth that all veterans, dead or alive, fought to keep us free, Memorial Day should remind us that those dead soldiers died in vain.
I appreciate the inside perspective, Michael. Yes, that should be the takeaway- that all those young boys died in vain. We have been lied to about everything. Thanks.
