Dismantle the Hero: Part I

these men & women with guns these hired killers these individuals who walk with a flag tattooed on their arm these nationalists by default these tools of the great military-industrial complex these robots who get wd-40 squirted on their gears ever so often, ARE NOT HEROES. s/he whose statue sits in every country’s capital displaying for all of its citizens a visual representation of just what it takes to sacrifice yourself completely because others have told you to do so--- in one way or another, those with property those who wield power & those who point the finger at the poor telling us that if we worked harder that we could someday be like them, it is THEY who have started the ball rolling in the mid east it is THEY who sign the pointless papers which send off the sons & daughters of the poor, while never offering up themselves or their own kin for target practice & it is THEY who complain when others criticize what the massive killing force known as the US military does in the rest of the world by beating others senseless or dead in the name of THEIR democracy. start with dismantling this idea that to do the bidding of the rich by grabbing a gun & allowing yourself to be sent to the next “enemy” of ours, is not what it seems--- YOU ARE NOT A HERO you are a target, a stopping point between those that the world policeman has beat so hard that they finally want to retaliate, because they see no other recourse. a decent person would flip those tables that sit at the bottom of the subway steps in poor neighborhoods in this country--- a decent person would flip the tables and run the recruiters off the premises because they have no place in our communities recruiting future cadavers.
