I noticed just recently that a new billboard has gone up a few miles from my house. It features a Marine in uniform along with the caption: What Do Marines Fight For?Never have I been gifted with such a tremendous article prompt.So, what do Marines fight for?Well, first of all, here are some things that Marines don’t fight for:FreedomGod and countryThe ConstitutionOur freedomsOur rightsDefense of the countryThe American peopleOur safetyTheir familiesHonorPreserving the American way of lifeAmerican borders, coasts, and skiesMy freedom to write this articleAnd here are some things that Marines do fight for:A reckless, belligerent, and meddling foreign policyDefense contractorsThe military/industrial complexA high defense budgetThe governmentThe presidentUncle SamThe Joint ChiefsThe PentagonThe Israel LobbyPrideRecognitionTo be thanked for their serviceThe U.S. empireA paycheckForeign borders, coasts, and skiesGovernment lies and propagandaRestaurant discounts on Memorial Day and Veterans DayNot only do Marines fight for these things, they sometimes die for them. Yet, every death was preventable, fruitless, in vain, and pointless.Americans should ignore all military recruitment billboards, advertisements, and commercials.The post What Do Marines Fight For? appeared first on LewRockwell.
