“Kill one man, and you are a murderer. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill them all, and you are a god.” ~Jean Rostand– Pensées d’un biologiste
How has a nation that boasts of being a bastion of freedom and liberty become the most prolific killer of on earth? This question will immediately enrage most Americans, and not in any moral sense of remorse for the innocent victims around the world, but due to a false sense of exceptionalism and backward patriotism.
To do any legitimate study of U.S. aggression would take one back to the very beginning, but the past 120 years have seen the continued slaughter of innocents as a normality of the American way of life. I say this because the masses have for the most part supported this indiscriminate killing, and lauded those responsible for the carnage. There were of course dissenters from this norm, but in the end, they were mostly marginalized or worse. Those who do not tow the line of the military today are in many cases ridiculed. And given that every major event, especially sporting events, display 300 foot U.S. flags, military jets, and military personnel ad nauseam, including the recent presidential spectacle, a parade dubbed the “military show of a lifetime,” the devotion shown by the spectators is nothing less than unadulterated worship. The false sense of superiority that most Americans seem to possess is part of the problem, but how do those who consider themselves better than everyone else, stomach the slaughter of even women and children? How can they simply turn their heads, pretending that all the brutal aggression levied in their name is justified? How can they stand by while entire populations die of disease and starvation due to abominable sanctions? How can they watch families who have the same hopes and dreams as they do, be torn apart at the hands of political and corporate warmongers?..........https://www.lewrockwell.com/2019/07/gary-d-barnett/war-is-the-american-way-of-life/
