Regardless of the miserable way in which many of our superiors behaved for their own self interest, then and since, about sixty thousand of us died trying to do our best to defend this self evident TRUTH and the system we hope someday will live by it, about three hundred thousand of us were wounded, and a bunch more have died at the hands of a Society that has killed us by hating us because it is a Society that can't handle perceived defeat and can't accept responsibility for the faulty premises upon which it builds its compulsively concocted schemes.

We had nothing to do with where they used us and how, or that we were naive and came late to realize our betrayal in order to do something about it, and it has been difficult to accept that we were duped, but that is life in these United States, where duping others is not only socially honored and rewarded, but is a skill we depend on for survival, though we all hate it when we fail to be smart enough to avoid it being done to us! Bullets accomplish nothing if afterward we do not insist on living the fulfillment's of our earned rights that common sense should already guarantee, but doesn't! Living lies made up to take the place of truths we cannot accept, which are denied to us by others, or which seem too frightening to be faced, is only a walking death we hadn't reckoned on beyond the other walking death we endure each day, that requires us to slip outside reality to survive.
