Uncle Sam wants you....Dead

Do you remember how many U.S. soldiers died in the first Gulf War? On television at the time, they told you it was around 64. Later, as news agencies recalculated the total from a variety of sources, it became 146. But now, some 13 years later, according to the Veterans Administration itself, the first Gulf War death toll among U.S. troops who served there stands at 8,013! And this a figure from a 2002 report.

I was reminded of this hideous numerical progression recently when I read the Pentagon’s report listing 534 American military fatalities as of Feb. 1, 2004. Almost immediately after seeing that, I read the story by Australian investigator Joe Vialls saying the American combat death toll from Iraq was actually 1,188.

So what is going on? As if we didn’t know.

Today's Army recruitment jingle is "Be all that you can be." But given the news these days, and the ominous spectrum of options and consequences that confront today's enlistees, it seems like all you can be is dead, or at best, severely messed up for the rest of your life.

It seems like the real choices when you join the U.S. military are somewhere between missing limbs, lifelong cancer from toxic substances, and learning how to murder innocent women and children on the diabolical say-so of those who avoided military service themselves.

1. Just more lies

More and more lies are discovered every day that the bushies make on a daily basis.

3. Bush is counting soldiers that die in Iraq. I think the figure is

higher than 1,188. The difference is the wounded. They are taken to Germany or Walter Reed. Have you noticed no one has talked about any wounded dying? Top secret information! Wounded is between 10,000-14,000. That was a couple of months ago. The DOD was bragging that they have the best death percentage of any war we've waged - 6%. So if you take the low end of the wounded, that is around 600.

As for the first Gulf War, they may be including the number of soldiers who have died from Gulf War Syndrome and injuries they got during the war and died much later.

Another thing that is kept quiet - there were 300,000 soldiers involved in GW1. 150,000 are on disability because of GW Syndrome. 50,000 have applications in to be added to that list.

4. And our presidential choices both have blood on their hands

Are we stupid, or uncaring, or both, or what?

6. perhaps the most elite network in the country

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0122-10.htm

There are only 800 living members. Only 15 per year.
It's staggering that two of them could be facing off for
the presidency and so many of them have achieved
positions of prominence.

The number two and number three guys in the
Justice Department, the guy that puts out all of Bush's
secrecy memos. His assistant Attorney General is a
major Bonesman. Bonesman Frederick Smith was Bush's
top choice for Secretary of Defense until he had to withdraw
for health reasons. The general council of the Office of Homeland Security, the Secretary of Defense’s
representative to Europe. The list goes on and on and
on. That's something that's interesting, because George
W. Bush likes to feign his distance from Yale, from
Bones, from Northeastern establishment elite
connections, and yet he's going ahead and following
Skull and Bones to the letter.

5. Premature deaths

Certain injuries are known to result in substantially shorter life expectancies - like having one or more lower extremities blown off.

Also PTSD cases will number in the thousands and will result in untold suffering, social costs, and suicides.

7. John Kaminski is a Nazi pusbag.

Another of his links on the same page, "American Satyricon: Part I & II", comes up empty when you click on it. The article is still available at Jeff Rense's filthy website. It ends with this charming anecdote:

From John Kaminski
10-8-3

Just thought you'd all like to know that I've been getting anonymous threatening phone calls from several people who accuse me of hating Jews. Since I have a cellphone, no one should have access to my number, but Israel controls most of the phones in the U.S. These people never tell me their names. These phone calls are characterized by the foulest language and an unwillingness to dialogue. I've been expecting them, and they're here. This is the way some Jews wish to debate, by smearing and silencing all opposition to their criminal endeavors. Just the way they treat the rest of the world, as dumb cattle who it's OK to rob and murder. Just a reminder of what happened to me when they find me with six .22 slugs in the back of my head. Jewish justice...a threat to everyone in the whole world.
