I feel what your saying and although while that is tragic we do have an all volunteer army, so its not like they had no idea what they were getting themselves into. Also, I think if these kids were properly educated they wouldnt join this military anyway, as its nothing more then a mercenary outfit. But, i hope your brother gets out, being property of the government is never a good thing.

sure. i actually adopted my brother from my parents when he was 16 because if i didn't he would have ended up in prison.
it was a miracle my wife and i got him through high school and into the army. his options were bleak and the army actually gave him a chance to make something of himself.
and he did know what he was getting into and he did not threaten to go awol or any of that nonsense but have 2 months left on your contract and getting another tour sucks whether it is by the book or not.
anyway regardless of why these guys are in the armed forces they are and even if they are fighting a misguided war they are fighting it for those of us who are not.

This war just like almost any other war that has and will be fought is fought purely for profit and gain, on a monetary level. So, in reality, they are not fighting anything for me. As far as the contract goes, i can totally see the injustice in that. However, when the government owns you and they make the rules.... you get what they feel is right. Its a fraud.
He's jokin with you, I can assure you. He hates the Neocons at least as much as I do.
Fletchy is top drawer.
This is very very simple folks...the war/occupation is a total wet, realized dream for the cronies and contractors...period, and at the expense of the real business...economic security. This clusterfuck alone should send the Puglies into oblivion.
Divide and conquer...
They want to pit
Rich against poor
Black against white against Latino
Men against women
The old vs the young
Workers vs welfare
Liberal types vs conservative types
Gays against non-gays
Look at the media. Take Black against white for example... They brew up these Jena 6's, Duke Lacrose, texas dragging incident, and they promote these stories every few months that have polarized reactions. People spend time fighting and argueing... angry... angry people are easier to control. angry people don't act as rational.
It's just nasty. Do you think Hitler would have been able to control Nazi Germany if people weren't pissed off? Germany was going through Hyperinflation...
Germany goes from being the #1 country in the world, to basically a human shithole where you need a freaking wheelbarrow full of money to go buy a loaf of bread. The German currency was like the currency of Zimbabwaue today.
Do you think it is easier to control THAT germany or the Germany of today?
