What i grasp is that you have willingly surrendered personal responsibility for free thought and expression and are part of a collective group that is programmed not to think nor question authority but to blindly follow orders, (no matter how immoral) basically you are a hired corporate gun who has murdered, tortured and raped. Your brothers in arms recently targeted an innocent Iraqi girl. You watched and waited and when the opportunity arose you slaughtered her family and gang- raped her. Your fellow soldiers got only a slap on the wrist. I am a father of a young girl and i was ouraged and I fucking cried for that now destryed famililess child. History? History ? Your little ramble about a past revolutionary history is ignorant. Look at US foreign policy over the last 50 years where gov't released files document assassination and overthrow of freely elected gov'ts which were not favourable to american economic interests. Look at the Gulf of Tonkin incident which was another fraudulent cooked-up situation which brought the US into openly bombard Southeast Asia. Our own North American history has been altered and glorified from what was. US history is based on cruelty, murder and genocide and is always the poor subsurvient to the wealthy with the military usually forced from the ranks of the poor and disenfranchised or maybe you would be talking about your illegal invasion of a sovereign nation based on lies and proven bullshit using torture, murder and rape and starvation to subdue the populace. There is documentation regarding use of illegal ordinance to target civilians not to mention dirty bombs and unspent uranium and on and on. Demoralized? We all see through the booze soaked macho myths and the false bravado and wife- beating and the stress and guilt of murdering civilians for their resources and are puzzeled why someone would trade their humanity rather than learn to cook their own food and make their own bed (military as the big mommy in your world of perpetual adolesence) not to mention learning to own your own thoughts and feelings. Personally I would rather speak truth to power and injustice than to be a corporate lackey/hired gun or in other words a murdering whore without a conscience. Being a national guardsman in an infantry unit far away occupying & killing civilians for control of their resources is something i'd be ashamed to admit to. Frederick the Great once said, if his soldiers were to begin to think, not one would remain in the ranks I don't support armed agression for resources under the transparent deceptive and imoral blanket called" the war on terror" into sovereign countriesl ike Iraq. Iran nor american backed agression into Lebanon, Palestine nor Africa. In other words I don't support the troops.My heart goes to the grandparents and parents and children and nieces and nephews and cousins and neighbours and girlfriends and boyfriends and all the innocents slaughtered, raped and tortured by American soldiers Frankly you are not in a place to be doing any recommending.

Empire and Imperialism have specific meanings, which is is clear that you do not grasp. Allow me to remind (or inform?) you that the US was once a colonial possession and that we are a revolutionary government that threw off our imperial masters. And you should look up the word "demoralized." I'm a National Guardsman in an Infantry unit and no one around me resembles your description.
