Today we educate and train our children in military careers and then send them to foreign lands to kill other human beings, many of which are women and children, sacrificed to protect and serve multinational corporations and groups of elite private businessmen. We honor these heroes, mercenaries, and soldiers of fortune, for causing death and destruction, not the doctors, nurses, surgeons, and physical therapists who heal them.
