Fifth generation vet here. Told my sons on Veteran's Day: when your time comes, I hope you say "nah".
Let's be real - most of us who served in recent decades weren't protecting freedoms. We were lied to. The actual mission? Invade countries to make certain people insanely rich.
Politicians sent our brothers and sisters to die and kill for lies, greed, and unconstitutional agendas. They weaponize propaganda - "support the troops" means support their wars. Wrong. Supporting troops means NEVER sending them to die for anything except real defense.
When North Korean carriers are in Plymouth Harbor or ISIS takes Maine, I'll suit up and give them hell. But until then? The people we fight don't actually threaten us on our shores.
Saddam had zero capability to harm us domestically. He's been dead almost a decade. What are we still doing there?
ISIS - who WE created by invading - is the latest boogeyman. They can't harm us here either. Terror attacks? Those won't be stopped by invasions. The cost of life in our wars exceeds potential terrorism losses.
Defend your families and loved ones. That's often a very different mission than what's handed to people in uniform.
This isn't about crypto, but it's about seeing through manufactured narratives. Same skill set applies to markets, governments, and everything else they sell you.
