I joined the military in 2000 when I was in high school, two months after I turned 18. I bought into the honor of the military. Maybe I was trying to be tough. Either way there is no real honor in an organization whose history is so tragic to those who have served in its ranks and to multitudes of those that have been murdered, been raped and pillaged in its tracks. I am just now starting to really see the lies of the military that are perpetuated by society. There is no toughness in learning to kill for greed or joining the military because I thought it would be easier than saving money for college. Many of us did not know our new found truths at the time we enlisted and here is where the only honor can be found. The intentions of so many were to give of themselves to their nation. Being willing to give our lives for this country does not mean our government should be willing to give us up so freely. Yes, this war is NOT what I THOUGHT I was signing up for. Freedom has not been gained by fighting another country since the revolutionay war, since then it has only been gained by standing up to our government.
