Just a Thought on the Fort Hood Shootings

Re-enactment of Calvary Charge

Fort Hood in Happier Days. 

Wait. What century is this?
It's sad to think that the US Army that fought to stop slavery and keep the union together now with the rest of the military is the clearest form of non-punitive slavery in the nation.

The Fort Hood shootings should show that the slavery of the military needs to end.

People are wanting out, yet are virtually treated like escaping slaves though whipping is out I think, if they try to avoid repeated deployments to Iraq and/or Afghanistan.

It might be one thing if there is a huge military venture that must be done to actually stop most of the world from being enslaved, but neither the Afghan nor the Iraq Conflict suits that bill. The World Wars probably did, but it seems that the slavery system that the military runs on, helps ensure that corrupt administrations can start wars they have no idea how to end, nor any justification for fighting.

And to think that the members of our military which is there to protect our nation and it's rights is denied their rights, not only for the term of their promised enlistment, but far beyond the period for which they signed.

Our enlisted personnel have all the rights given the Bristish Royal Navy in the 16th century, and from what I've read that wasn't many.

Army Strong should read Army Enslaved.
