Overall yes as to impersonality of the elite,but other ethnicities were a very small percent of combat fatalities. Even recently White males were 84% of Afghanistan deaths and 81% of Iraq death, far higher than our proportion in uniform or society. No lack of props to those non-Whites brothers who stood up for the meat grinder, however. I never faced combat, myself
Once the combat largely ceased, I got an email during the 2nd Obama term that promotions would be prioritized for diversity. Put in to resign my commission the next day.
Friends kid was in till recently and it's bad. Al Queda and Isis were threats, but DEI is a direct and present threat to me. In the country both my parents lines were in well before independence, where we have served during all major conflicts, I'm expected to embrace being a second class citizen?
No. I will not answer a recall. I will tell White kids not to join and already do.
Well, my dad was on the next flight out of Boston on United so that's why I took it personally. And I studied medieval history in college, so I get that Islam invaded my civilization in the 8th century, slaying raping and enslaving others.
a thousand years of slaving in Africa before Europeans had even the smallest impact there. Millions killed in India, etc, etc...
But to sum up al Queda as the attack arm of a cancerous ideology that has no place in the civilization my ancestors built, yes that's why I volunteered to fight. Because I understand that the world is larger than me or my needs and comforts.
Even to support the then necessary oil pipelines supporting that civilization. So what, in that way I helped the whole of my people.
But worldwide cultural conflicts aside, the traitors who support DEI are the most close and pernicious enemy to western civilization. A..5 meter target so to speak. Look carefully at South Africa and where it was and where it is now.
Destroying a culture for the sins of the past with nothing but endless tribal hatred will end up with indigenous levels of violence (40% death by violent acts, supported by worldwide grave studies, from Europe to Asia to Africa to South America) endemic starvation, disease and an end to technological advancement and a return to life expectancy in the 40's. For everyone, not just us hated palefaces.
You posed a legit question, but there's a trend to try to reframe arguments in only the individual context. Atomized individuals are easy to isolate and neutralize.
We haven't fought a legal war since WWII. There have been no declarations of war, as the constitution demands. Every president that got us into these conflicts needs to be tried for treason.
Biden is at war right now with Russia. Would having the dweebs in congress pass a majority proclamation make killing Russians better or somehow cleaner or more self righteous by having that paper?
"OKAY TROOPS, MIKE JOHNSON JUST EMAILED ME THIS CERTIFICATE STATING THAT ALL THE DWEEBS IN CONGRESS THINK KILLING RUSSIANS IS A GOOD IDEA. SO, GO AND KILL ALL THEM ROTTEN RUSKYS LIKE CRAP THROUGH A GOOSE...WE HAVE INK! " lol
To be fair, no war is "legal". Germany never declared war on the US. Sure, it declared war on its allies, but by that logic, you could say that Germany was "justified" in invading Russia because Russia had attacks Germany's allies. This kind of logic cannot be objective. "Legal" is just arbitrariness.
Yes, you might be right, but the US had already been directly supporting Great Britain and the USSR against Germany. My point is that we can rationalize any justification for any war. All sides of eery war have their own justifications. Therefore, in my view, they are all wrong.
A great-great uncle of mine fought in the Alps during WW1.
Incredibly, he came face to face one day, alone, with an enemy soldier. These people were farmers, workers, thrown into the meat grinder of trench warfare. Well, my great uncle, frightened, fired. He aimed for the legs, however, because he didn't have the guts to kill. Then he reached the wounded man, shouldered him and took him to the nearest hospital.
From that time on, and for the rest of his life, my great uncle received an annual Christmas card of greetings from his "enemy".
My grandmother, born in 1925, who was his niece, told me the story countless times.
True, this story sounds rhetorical and perhaps a little pathetic. Yet it is very instructive.
How is it pathetic? Your great-uncle was a hero, and a great man geeze you have good reason to be proud, that's an awesome story and an example of how good men should stay away from war. WWI was a waste, certainly France had to defend herself, and Germany ought not to have invaded her, but it was poorly fought, and poorly planned and cost the world too much. Your great-uncle made all the right calls and saved a man's life and showed mercy and pity. Hope he lived to a ripe old age.
Oh I do apologize, I misread it then. I would urge you though to look into him, such a man was more than simply one cut from ordinary cloth, there was much more to him than just that one story. Not trying to be pushy, but family stories like that are important, and ought to be preserved and passed down, but stories are more than the sum of a single moment so his whole life mattered and deserved to be better understood and copied down if you don't mind my saying so.
No need to apologise, I gave a lesser used meaning of the word by implication.
I completely agree with you about ancestors: unfortunately, memories about that distant great-uncle are irretrievable and can only be ascribed to oral tradition...
However, my great-grandfather also fought in the Great War, and of him I have a few photos and a letter from the front dated 1916. Lucky me!
Oh well bon pour vous, good for you that must be some great-grandfather! As to that uncle, it is a shame and I'm sorry for your family's loss that he is only remembered via oral tradition.
The latest movie version of the great book “all quiet on the western front” made by a German production company is unflinching in its treatment of the horrible waste that was WW1. An excellent work.
I served in the Navy and got out in 1997. Would NEVER join now. We are a corrupt war mongering empire that is sliding down histories back side. So very sad!!
Glad you are out now, Madjack. I hope young, White males listen to your wisdom. You've been there and you know what you are talking about when you warn not to go in.
Morgthorak, profound piece, thank you. I lost a very dear older brother in Vietnam, drafted, killed in action in August 1968. That was one thing that nudged me down the radical resistance road in my youth. I also lost an Uncle in WW2, killed in action on D-Day 1941, buried in Normandy. WW2 , as horrifying as it was, had to be fought. Vietnam, no and I truly feel for the Vietnamese people who were caught in the middle of warring factions. Creedence was a great band, the Fogarty brothers had some heartfelt and primal songs, of which I greatly enjoyed. John Fogarty's voice was very powerful. I also recommend an Alice in Chains song, "Rooster", a very visceral song written about lead singer Layne Staley's Father, who fought in Vietnam. The background vid during the song could have been taken from the movie "Apocalypse Now" (I don't know, as I did not see that war movie). Anyway, the horror of war never goes away. It is an ancient plague of human beings. I cannot imagine just being born into this world right now...it was gnarly enough growing up a Boomer, after WW2 and then right into Vietnam for my generation. My brother Tommy was not a warrior type, but got drafted anyway and died for this madness. Deep thinking must be thought on all this sorrow. Thank you again, Morg, for your writing on this subject.
Morgthorak, thank you! Even though my brother died 58 years ago, I never forget the trauma his Vietnam death set me on. The entire Boomer generation was profoundly surrounded by the Vietnam war. Every generation has their debacles and their traumas, that is unfortunately, human history. All we can do is attempt to learn from the previous generations and make the best of what time we have left. John Fogarty of Creedence Clearwater was a fabulous singer, heartfelt, powerful. The entire 1960's was a plethora of incredible music. Glad you know about the Alice in Chains "Rooster" song, another understated powerful song. If I did not walk with God and His Son, I would have been dead long ago. Thank you again for your intense and heartfelt writing, I humbly appreciate all your sincere efforts. Wendy
I disagree that WWII “had” to be fought. Certainly the regimes we fought were extremely evil(almost uniquely so) and so it was the most reasonable righteous conflict in our history(in competition with the civil war). But we did not have to fight and overtime those regimes would have changed and had pushback from the peoples they conquered.
That is an interesting perspective. Counterfactuals are always interesting and sometimes useful. WWII would not have been fought had France and Great Britain pushed back on early German aggression. Suppose Germany had taken over Europe. Suppose the future war had been Germany vs. USSR. Suppose US had concentrated on making the Western Hemisphere thrive. Would the world be better off or worse off? We have the opportunity to test that with China.
Yes I find it be fun and interesting. What if Lincoln had withdrawn from the South/fort Sumter? People always think it “had” to be a certain way but it’s not true.
Madjack, since few of us were alive in WW2, I cannot say for certain that the war needed to be fought. I do, however, believe that the Nazi regime from Europe and the Imperial Japanese from Japan, would not have likely stopped their outgoing aggression. If the US and Canada had not joined the war in Europe especially, the battles would have continued and expanded as much as Germany could muster. Hitler wanted world domination and I think the Imperial Japanese the same, from a different location on Earth. Humans are rowdy creatures and do not generally behave themselves. Britain and France certainly could have done more in the early interim, regarding Germany, but the core of Germany was not lightweight and was determined to push on. WW1 left Germany in not-good shape and Hitler appeared as a "deliverer" of Germany and also stirred up hatred at the Jewish people and others. Racial hatred is ancient and will continue. I am far from a history expert. I used to shelve books in a small library and what I called "the war aisle" (940 in the Dewey Decimal system, history section of Europe), was filled with visceral books about the conflagration from the points of view of US, British, French and German peoples who were in the middle of the mess. Civilians are caught in the conflicts and are desperate to survive and escape the battles. Since I was not there when my Uncle Arthur fell on the beach of Normandy during DDay, I was not able to speak to him about his experience or feelings of the battle. I certainly miss my beloved brother Tom, who fell to the draft and died in a dishonorable war in Vietnam in 1968. The only long-term solution to war is a deep and profound change in human beings and that is brought by fellowship with God alone.
As much as I hate to say it, this is the absolute truth. To "serve" in the military is to serve the elite. It has nothing to do with serving your country or your countrymen.
Modern day US is like the ancient Canaanite civilization of Carthage: extremely powerful melting pot military empire ✅, service based economy built on a house of cards ✅, infanticide at the forefront of politics ✅, list goes on
Males everywhere (not just whites) have been brainwashed to associate masculinity with blind obedient and subservience to daddy figures, because they never had an empowering father figure. True men hate taking orders, and they don't sell out their individual sovereignty for mercenary blood money. Great article. Will share.
I have two young sons. I did 4 years in the U.S. Army. I will actively dissuade them from serving in the U.S. military. Instead, I will encourage them to get real skills and choose to be an EMT, Firefighter, etc if they want to serve their fellow citizens.
The U.S. gov doesn’t give a shit about soldiers in times of peace, and certainly not in times of war.
The U.S. government only cares about federal employees who pay union dues and spend 40 years donating part of their generous paychecks to Democrats.
Don’t go die or get maimed to advance the interests of investment bankers and idiotic ivy league morons who treat foreign policy like they’re playing a game of chess…..where they’re the arrogant novices that lose time and time again while finding any excuse to blame anything but their own stupidity and ignorance.
White males have OVERWHELMINGLY been the ones dying in the country's wars since the beginning. Do not attempt to water down their sacrifice by mentioning other groups. Without White males, the country would not have even had a military.
Relax with the virtue signaling. It has to do with race right now because the woke made race a wedge issue and it's worth turning around on them. If the KKK had taken over the military and spent years ranting about how much they hate black men, it would be a no-brainer to say "hey black guys, how about not dying for people who hate you."
But we didn't get the KKK, we got the rainbow mafia. The rainbow mafia hates straight white men for the same deranged reason the KKK hates blacks. So fine, hey straight white guys, how about don't go die for the rainbow mafia.
Perspective often plays a significant role in such matters.
There's an ocean between us, and I must say that here in Europe, '"wokism" hasn't (yet) taken hold to the extent it has in your part of the world, where it dramatically and decisively divides factions.
Here in the old continent, it's still largely seen as "an American exaggeration", and when asked, most people respond with '"wokewhat"?
However, among young people, it's a bit different.
In Europe, we contend with other, more pressing anxieties. The Anglosphere, in alignment with many EU governments, seems to be escalating tensions with Russia without resorting to diplomacy.
This concern weighs on my mind, since I see few Fortunate Sons around.
If you're interested, you can read what I've written about it (I'm just a humble gardener)."
Everybody except the US state department, intelligence agencies, and a few zombies who still watch US state media would very much like them to stop escalating tensions with Russia.
Unfortunately the other ~8 billion of us don't get much of a say in it.
I sometimes prefer to think there is some obscure deal between powers that have planned it all to enslave humanity, rather than think the world is in the hands of elderly, reckless fools with their hands close to pressing the big red annihilation button.
Backin’ up Aider Maider here. One of my early career mentors, a Black Vietnam vet, said: “The only good thing about the Vietnam War was that N****rs and White Trash found out how much they had in common.”
Yes, I sometimes think that all this infighting in Western society is instrumental in maintaining power for those who hold it. It's a weapon of mass distraction, the dear old "divide et impera" of Roman memory.
To continue with musical quotes: "Together we stand, divided we fall," as said the good old Pink Floyd.
I wholeheartedly agree and support your efforts to enlighten white men, that they are the cornerstone and foundation of our military. Without their participation our government might rethink their policies on war, but I firmly believe that the machine is two steps if not more ahead of you. The open border is not only to keep wages down, build a voting bloc, but is a replacement army. A pathway to citizenship that is given for participation in our never ending wars. Possibly a police force that would have no qualms about shooting Americans or denying their constitutional rights. No need for a 9/11 event but I would not rule that out of their playbook. As the Bridge disaster in Baltimore has not yet been attested to as a terrorist event. If so the call to arms will be loud and clear and answered by the gullible.
So, undead, great way to start my morning listening to this song.
Question: would you personally consider fighting in a war, let's say against a Chinese battalion that was marching up Los Angele's Santa Monica Blvd toward downtown?
It is one thing to not want to fight for your country, while pigs are running things.
And to my mind, another to defend your own family, friends, and community from invasion.
Overall yes as to impersonality of the elite,but other ethnicities were a very small percent of combat fatalities. Even recently White males were 84% of Afghanistan deaths and 81% of Iraq death, far higher than our proportion in uniform or society. No lack of props to those non-Whites brothers who stood up for the meat grinder, however. I never faced combat, myself

No. I will not answer a recall. I will tell White kids not to join and already do.
How has al quada been a threat to you? Do you work in banking or the high ranks of the USA military?
Well, my dad was on the next flight out of Boston on United so that's why I took it personally. And I studied medieval history in college, so I get that Islam invaded my civilization in the 8th century, slaying raping and enslaving others.
a thousand years of slaving in Africa before Europeans had even the smallest impact there. Millions killed in India, etc, etc...

We'll have to dig up the dead ones for that, but otherwise I agree.
A legal war? Wars are legal and or illegal?
No, there is war, and then again there is war.
A declaration by congress is irrelevant.
Biden is at war right now with Russia. Would having the dweebs in congress pass a majority proclamation make killing Russians better or somehow cleaner or more self righteous by having that paper?
"OKAY TROOPS, MIKE JOHNSON JUST EMAILED ME THIS CERTIFICATE STATING THAT ALL THE DWEEBS IN CONGRESS THINK KILLING RUSSIANS IS A GOOD IDEA. SO, GO AND KILL ALL THEM ROTTEN RUSKYS LIKE CRAP THROUGH A GOOSE...WE HAVE INK! " lol

Yes, you might be right, but the US had already been directly supporting Great Britain and the USSR against Germany. My point is that we can rationalize any justification for any war. All sides of eery war have their own justifications. Therefore, in my view, they are all wrong.
Great point. As in Ukraine we were going out of our way to be provocative. Our leaders/establishment LOVE war. Gives them more power and money
It takes two to tango in war. Whom do you mean by "we", by the way?

Thank you for your comment.
By "pathetic", I meant it in its original, ancient Greek meaning.
Well, let's consider it a romantic story, in the literary sense.
I don't know much more about that ancient relative of mine though...
Oh I do apologize, I misread it then. I would urge you though to look into him, such a man was more than simply one cut from ordinary cloth, there was much more to him than just that one story. Not trying to be pushy, but family stories like that are important, and ought to be preserved and passed down, but stories are more than the sum of a single moment so his whole life mattered and deserved to be better understood and copied down if you don't mind my saying so.

More stories have been lost than remembered, and likely the best ones. Of such is history.
That’s a great story! Uplifting.

Morgthorak, profound piece, thank you. I lost a very dear older brother in Vietnam, drafted, killed in action in August 1968.

As much as I hate to say it, this is the absolute truth. To "serve" in the military is to serve the elite. It has nothing to do with serving your country or your countrymen.
The most important job for a true patriot is to protect his country from its government

Males everywhere (not just whites) have been brainwashed to associate masculinity with blind obedient and subservience to daddy figures, because they never had an empowering father figure. True men hate taking orders, and they don't sell out their individual sovereignty for mercenary blood money. Great article. Will share.
WWI & WWII vets were raised with fathers and understood authority and orders.
That's a horrible thing. Borderline gay. Masculinity is the opposite of subservience. Only faggots obey "authority" and blindly follow orders.
Says the nerd with Star Wars and samurai references 🤣🤦♂️
I’ll take this as proof that you lost the argument
NO Sotiris I think you've got it wrong.
Males are driven by the need to exert their dominance in the tribe. We are no different that any other animal in this regard.
The military simply capitalizes on this basic male need to demonstrate that dominance, when they need resources for a conflict.
So how does your willing subservience in the military resemble dominance? You understand that it’s a delusion, right?
Did you ever, just once, think maybe, just maybe, some of these f***ing people need killing?
I have two young sons. I did 4 years in the U.S. Army. I will actively dissuade them from serving in the U.S. military. Instead, I will encourage them to get real skills and choose to be an EMT, Firefighter, etc if they want to serve their fellow citizens.
The U.S. gov doesn’t give a shit about soldiers in times of peace, and certainly not in times of war.
The U.S. government only cares about federal employees who pay union dues and spend 40 years donating part of their generous paychecks to Democrats.
Don’t go die or get maimed to advance the interests of investment bankers and idiotic ivy league morons who treat foreign policy like they’re playing a game of chess…..where they’re the arrogant novices that lose time and time again while finding any excuse to blame anything but their own stupidity and ignorance.
I agree with Madjack. I did 8 years in the chAir Force. 84 - 92. There is no way I'd serve now. Tell your children no.
Sorry to disappoint you, but the issue of skin colour has very little to do with this subject, you know.
Many of the wars fought by the US were waged before the emergence of wokism, and people of all ethnicities died in those wars.
The issue is another, namely that nation-states arrogate to themselves the right to own the lives of their citizens.
In most cases, no person has any interest in participating in any war, imperialistic or otherwise.
CCR, great band.
White males have OVERWHELMINGLY been the ones dying in the country's wars since the beginning. Do not attempt to water down their sacrifice by mentioning other groups. Without White males, the country would not have even had a military.
That is a matter of raw numbers, I fear.
Anyways, let me be trivial: when a war starts, everybody is condemned.
Relax with the virtue signaling. It has to do with race right now because the woke made race a wedge issue and it's worth turning around on them. If the KKK had taken over the military and spent years ranting about how much they hate black men, it would be a no-brainer to say "hey black guys, how about not dying for people who hate you."

As used to say King Crimson in 1969.
Backin’ up Aider Maider here. One of my early career mentors, a Black Vietnam vet, said: “The only good thing about the Vietnam War was that N****rs and White Trash found out how much they had in common.”
Yes, I sometimes think that all this infighting in Western society is instrumental in maintaining power for those who hold it. It's a weapon of mass distraction, the dear old "divide et impera" of Roman memory.
To continue with musical quotes: "Together we stand, divided we fall," as said the good old Pink Floyd.
I wholeheartedly agree and support your efforts to enlighten white men, that they are the cornerstone and foundation of our military. Without their participation our government might rethink their policies on war, but I firmly believe that the machine is two steps if not more ahead of you. The open border is not only to keep wages down, build a voting bloc, but is a replacement army. A pathway to citizenship that is given for participation in our never ending wars. Possibly a police force that would have no qualms about shooting Americans or denying their constitutional rights. No need for a 9/11 event but I would not rule that out of their playbook. As the Bridge disaster in Baltimore has not yet been attested to as a terrorist event. If so the call to arms will be loud and clear and answered by the gullible.
So, undead, great way to start my morning listening to this song.
Question: would you personally consider fighting in a war, let's say against a Chinese battalion that was marching up Los Angele's Santa Monica Blvd toward downtown?
It is one thing to not want to fight for your country, while pigs are running things.
And to my mind, another to defend your own family, friends, and community from invasion.
