No. It's Not About American Freedom

 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.
