Memorial Day

Apologies for the lateness of this post,    After the post this morning, I have had a hard time coming up with something that wouldn’t detract from the earlier post nor muddy the REASON for today.

A lot of people, self included, have come to the conclusion that serving in our military has become a sham, serving the corporate oligarchy as a tool of destruction, not some defender of Freedom.  

That does not mean I don’t honor those that went before, during or after my service, and gave their all for Honor and Country.    Seeing how the subject of my earlier post, has shown me that reality is what you make it, then those that went down swingin’ with the belief they were defending Mom baseball and apple pie FREEDOM, then by god, that is EXACTLY what they were doing and I will honor thier sacrifice, and defend thier honor!!!!

Another take: In the Corps, we had the saying “GOD, COUNTRY, CORPS”, and those were the focus of our service in that order.   You didn’t sully the name of God (Whatever your perception of that is) you certainly didn’t talk shit about Good Ol’ America, and Dog help you if you slandered the beloved Corps!!!  We lived that, we breathed that, and that doesn’t just go away.  It took many years for me to come to grips that what we did in Kuwait was a corporate/oligarch mission, and had nothing to do with Freedom or the American Way,,,   I don’t think the follow ups had anything to do with protecting American interests either, and that thought was reinforced by the “run away, run away!!!’ this administration commited back in 2021.   What we were doing in the sandboxes, in hindsight is so questionable, even some kooky theory that we were protecting historical evidence of Prior ET contacts makes some sense. (yes, there are those that think such, using the original Syrian archeology digs as reason,,,,  and there may be something to that,,, seeing how the recent declassification of UAP/Pentagon ‘The Program’ has hit mainstream info,,,,)

So today, I planted a flag in a serene location, poured three shots of good whisky, and saluted two of them.   My thoughts are light and easy now: my recent foray in meditations let me know, we don’t die, not spiritually, and those that are lost are still ‘here’ or coming back here as someone else,,,,,     I can only hope that they have seen the truth and can forgive themselves of the delusion.   Granted a delusion that is neccesary to ‘do the job’, but still, a delusion nonetheless. 

To my brothers and sisters of the military arms, God Bless you all, and may we keep this country alive despite her enemies; foriegn and DOMESTIC,,,
