Here's a window into a tragedy within the American military: For every soldier killed on the battlefield this year, about 25 veterans are dying by their own hands.This well kept secret has leaked out so much that the NY Times finally were forced to put it in print. However, you will notice that they hide the real reasons for this phenomenon behind lack of treatment, medical diagnoses, etc. instead of the real reason: once soldiers are deployed to the Empire's battlefields, they begin to see how they are being used to participate in the Empire's war crimes. They also realize how much they have been lied to by trusted sources in the US. Suicide rates such as this also occurred in the Vietnam War, but did not happen in WWII.
in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
