17. IMO the inclusive use of "we" isn't accurate
Edited on Wed Nov-11-09 10:13 PM by noise
The whole thing is secret. Propaganda is used to convince the public that failing to support the secret policy is the same thing as not supporting soldiers. IOW, many politicians hide behind soldiers. How do you honor soldiers by allowing policy makers to prolong occupations based on secret policy agendas?

What better way to honor volunteer soldiers than by holding the policy makers to the highest standard possible? Letting them spin us all the time isn't a high enough standard. Pretending (as Stewart appears to do) that the policy simply must be based in good faith isn't impressive either. We recently learned that Karzai's corrupt brother has been on the CIA payroll. Yet other news outlets tell us that Karzai needs to clean up his act. This is absurd.
