Cheerleaders are Evil!
Never
mind how the cheerleaders sell their souls in the back seats of cars to
gain populariity. How many times have men been driven to injure
themselves in sports because women cheered them on? The man can be all
out of fight and the cheerleaders drive them on to get back in the game
and get injured worse.
How many women have cheered their husbands
and sons to make war? How many people were injured or killed because
of it? Of course there are male cheerleaders, too.
Some men teach their sons the glory of war and spur them on to fight.
"If you win the big game, you'll be rewarded."
Well,
we see how the veterans who DID survive were treated. Many of them
have medical and psychological issues that the government doesn't want
to pay for. The Viet Nam War officially remained a "conflict" for years
because if they started calling it a war they would have to pay
benefits, so, just as the high school football coaches told the
cheerleaders, "Don't give the football players any pussy if they lose
the game," the government war cheerleaders didn't want to give the Viet
Nam Veterans any "benefit pussy" for losing the... er... conflict.
Officially, the "police action" November 1st, 1955 and
ended April 30th 1975. The government referred to them as "Vietnam Era
Veterans" rather than "Vietnam War Veterans," though now the United
States Department of Veteran Affairs now calls it a war in their agent
orange section.
"Agent Orange
There were no gains in foriegn policy, there were no military gains, and there were no social gains.
The
only gain was to a small group of corporations who benefited from the
military industrial complex such as the producers of chemicals like
Agent Orange (Dow Chemical, Monsanto, etc.), weapons manufacturers,
rubber companies, arms dealers, munitions factories, etc. Thousands of
lives on both sides were lost and many more were injured as the war
cheerleaders cheered them on.
The same types of problems have
faced veterans of recent wars. The same war cheerleaders who sent them
to war on false pretenses. If it weren't for Democratic Senator Al
Franken, those exposed to Agent Orange would still be having trouble
getting their treatment. Most likely many in the current government
would tell them, "Stop asking for government handouts. Get a job! Quit
expecting a nanny state!" According to Veterans Today.
...the Republicans want to eliminate some veterans benefits passed in the Democratic-controlled legislature. GOP leaders vowed in their 'Pledge to America' that, if they take power, they will cut veterans benefits because they are not 'paid for.'
Still, young men with fire in their eyes spurred on by their favorite cheerleaders still enlist to fight in senseless wars. The cheerleaders may be their mothers, their girlfriends or boyfriends, their fathers, or even their favorite politicians. These days, young men and women alike are cheered to their injury or death. As I said, cheerleaders are evil.
