Wars’ Primary Aim?

 (Iraq & Afghanistan Wars)

Iraq, and Afghanistan two wars going on for over ten-years, and seemingly not much irritation with the public over it, not likened to the Vietnam War. A line of American Dead boys are scattered over those two dirt piles. I know they are not boys, because all their faces look like men, but we call them our boys nonetheless, because on all their faces is that look: waiting for combat and wondering what is  the primary aim now?

       Yet the double boom of the guns, and the whirling rocks, pointlessly remain in action; ripping and disfiguring, killing, and perhaps we now should call it murdering by our government—souls ten-thousand miles away. A war where no soldier can ever walk upright wherever they are in those to dirt piles in the Middle East.  But what is the aim? What are we aiming for? I can only guess, and so let me try. Incidentally, if you are saying the wars are over, why do we have between both countries over: 175,000-troops combat ready there yet?

       I know what war is: it is violence, to compel the will of others to stand-down, to your will: I have been to war. But the aim of these two wars, at this late date, and billions of dollars later, what is the aim, the real aim? We’ve disarmed the enemy, in the beginnings of the war. I mean by saying that, we destroyed their military power that is, reduced it to where it was no longer a threat to us.  We did it by two invasions: this is war per near in a nutshell. Their negative intentions or what we felt was their principle against us was overcome, but the duration and ongoing expenses is making us succumb to them, it is what they want to drain us dry. I know the president will say: but the resistance.

       Listen up Mr. President, you have put us into a contest called winning by mere duration, when we have already won: meaning, their will against our will, and gradually to bring their loss, greater than our loss, this is not possible; point two, we want them to lay down ever gun, riffle and pocket knife, this also is not possible. Let me explain that also, since you have not been to war.  This kind of contest between Russia and America has been going on for seventy years, and we won, but we cannot afford to do this in these two countries, it is meaningless—the wearing out of a billion Muslims on the streets of Iraq and Afghanistan is ludicrous: unless you use the big bomb. Russia is a different dirt pile, that was the only way we could win, other than trying the big bomb, and that would be mad, or obliteration by retaliation.

       Now what is war again?  It is madness, monetary gain by industry, and murder after you have won, to continue on with it, and in our case inexcusable, and not winnable unless we plan, or say our objective can justify our means, and that is to kill more of everybody in these two countries: enemy warriors, our own boys, and civilians.

       Let me explain something else Mr. President: I am sure every detail was planned to win the main objective of our two wars long before they become our two wars, now won, a feeling of animosity has moved in, yet it continues by some fraudulent want and we are really at a standstill by one single motive alone, that being: we are waiting for more favourable times to get out—something on that order.  Other than giving contracts to the rest of the world so they can supply what we need with taxpaying dollars, to carry on this criminal action, and make billionaires out of millionaires: like I said, I’m guessing, but I bet I’m pretty close to the intent.

       We should get out and have nothing anymore to do with it. You cannot expect the savages to become civilized over night, and perhaps we don’t care one way or the other.  No. If you are going to be a practical person in this matter, you have to make up your mind and get out now, as you promised four years ago, ‘liar!’ (Too bad we can’t kick presidents out for lying; you’d have been out long ago.) I’m sure there will be plenty of pretexts to keep us in by our military brass, and our manufacturing firms, and  foreign industrial assemble, our so called comrades they’d like this to drag on for another ten-year period I’m sure:  just get some balls, and tell them Mr. President, “We don’t want to play the game any longer!”
