    GOVERNMENT CONSIDERS YOU THE ENEMY

    Earlier today, Obama appeared at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery for a photo op. From The Washington Post:

    Obama, aided by a soldier in uniform, rested the large wreath on a stand a few minutes after 11 a.m. Monday. The president adjusted the wreath, stepped back and bowed his head in silence for a few moments. Afterward, an Army bugler played taps.

    Later he appeared at the cemetery’s Memorial Amphitheater to read from a script. “We’re in a pivotal moment. Our troops are coming home. By the end of this year, our war in Afghanistan will finally come to an end,” he recited.

    “These Americans have done their duty. They ask nothing more than that our country does ours, for now and the decades to come,” Obama said.

    But, as the VA scandal and countless other examples reveal, the government considers veterans as little more than third class citizens, props to be rolled out on Memorial Day as homage is ritually paid to the state and its endless wars.

    The booboisie, as H. L. Mencken described the forever gullible and easily bamboozled American public, were practically knocking down the gates to get in to witness this annual worship of state violence:

    Before the ceremony, a large number of people were turned away from the cemetery’s entrances by security personnel who said that the event was at capacity.

    When the government is not praising veterans for their “service” in foreign wars of conquest and other illegal activity driven primarily by the financial elite – see Smedley Butler, below – it spends a lot of time demonizing veterans as enemies of the state: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3_EXqJ8f-0

    Not just the latest technology but also with revamping their hospitals with new beds, new restrooms, stuff like that. Due to funds and raising them.

    Even so the government has "gone on the record" claiming veterans are to be viewed with suspicion and as a potential "terrorists".

    It's all in the government's own documents. Of course you'll have to read them on your own. Saudi Faux Snews isn't going to broadcast any reports on it.

    It's just part of the post 9/11 paradigm where everyone is guilty until proven innocent.
