David Swanson gets is about war and how misleading it is

Larry Frost
  David Swanson gets it about war. War makers in modern America are about profiting from the trade of arms and re destruction . War is basically bullshit and David Swanson has written extensively on
glorification of war in America. Americas news war addiction is not to be on the defensive and the need of it is a basic lie and that is the title of one of his books called "War Is A Lie" and he basically writes that lying before  war refutes every argument to justify it. Swanson writes that war is for the poor to fight for the economic global interests of a global tiny population whose quest for power creates confrontations everywhere for resources and access to these resources that can be turned into another mans profit making business. Swanson dissects all the reasons why those in power promote conflict and war never wanting this system of destruction to quell as peace just doesn't make as much money. The creation and deployment of bombs during the Vietnam war made many in the defense industry extremely wealthy and it was this reasoning why more bombs were dropped in Vietnam than on Japan during the Second World War. They want a military state to export young people who likely would be jobless and at same time have an elite military officer class able to travel freely around the world at one of our nineteen hundred bases around the world.
     Dave talks about the tremendous propaganda marketing attempts to legitimize all wars and dispels the myth that war is good for the soldiers and gives them a legacy down the line. One can look at the current flap at the Confederate flag and the refusal of Southerners to see this embalm as a war created legacy giving them a distorted view of what it means to be in one region in North America. David Swanson kicks ass and is cool writing this book and showing all these states how these maniacs who join the military actually think it is their civic and patriotic duty to oil grab another country's resources so jackasses in North America can drive oversized vehicles with affordable gas prices. The amount of crap we get from the corporate media to worship those who go and fight to kill others defending their lands is just incredous and the amount of military personal coming home with mental diseases and guilt is an obvious sign of their realization that they were duped. Swanson shows how Hitler's armies have been gone for so long yet are still used as an example for us to fight modern day leaders equivalents of Hitler. This is one of the best anti-war books out there that should be required reading for every high school dropout in the South before they think on a career decision in their dead end town. check out david swanson and his writings on his site at http://davidswanson.org/
