No. It's Not About American Freedom
May 25, 2026
I just saw a new posting of this old lie: “1.3 million died
defending American freedoms.” Like hell they did! A great many of them died
fighting against states that insisted on preserving slavery, so they were
fighting for someone’s freedom but hardly that of all Americans. Neither of the
world wars was about defending American freedom, as neither Germany nor Japan
posed any real threat to them. Neither Korea nor Vietnam was about defending
American freedom. They were about fighting Communism elsewhere. None of our
recent wars in Middle East have been about defending American freedom except
perhaps the first invasion of Afghanistan to go after bin Ladn. Trump’s attack
on Iran isn’t about anything anyone with a brain can discern, It sure as hell
isn’t about defending American freedom. That the US military exists to defend
American freedom is one of the biggest lies American propaganda tells. It’s
just flat not true. The US military exists, and essentially has always existed,
to project American power around the world, which is a far cry from defending
American freedom. We will never overcome American militarism as long as people
keep believing this lie.
