    Unhappy Why DO we fight?

    Another 6 of our soldiers dead....Many of the rest traumatised and discarded.......

    what for....?

    THIS !!!?



    It's a long 'un but once I started to watch I had to see it through.

    Is it the truth? ......

    Hard to be sure but I would mind betting it contains less lies than we've been fed.

    Very sad indeed, wars are either caused by religious differences or greed and control. All of the recent wars have been about controlling oil (IMHO)

    I believe, whether true or not, that the US is sitting on huge untapped oil reserves, they are controlling and using the other major supplies around the work first. When it all runs out the US will still have theirs and the others will be reliant on the US. I know people who work in Iraq in the oil industry and that is all cntrolled by UK & US interests.

    Watch the bogey man, look hard enough and Al-Queida was funded by the CIA, look at history at false flags and you will see conflicts are started to control.

    You simply cannot believe everything our media tells you, I know and had met with Syrians during the socalled uprising in Syria, the sheeple don't know the half of it!!

    Re: Why DO we fight?

    I am ex-army and beleive there's not a battle we've got involved in since the Falkland Islands that we should have been invloved in. The Falklands was the last battle we had for soverign territory and i have a funny feeling we will be back down there in the next few months to protect the oil under it. A friend of mine in the navy had a tour at the end of last year for a couple of months down to that area they have stepped up the amount of Royal Marines down there, is it for a deterant or are they expecting more?
    As for war's the government loves them, all governments do for a lot of businesses they have open cheque books, so jobs go upproduction on civvy street goes up to accomadate. A firm Down Here PALL makes nearly all the filters for tanks and armoured vehichles, they've been on permanent over time for gods knows how long and all money goes back into the economy. War is an effective way of making money no doubt about that

    The only way to stop war, is to make our politicians and Generals them selves in person, fight them.
