Bobby Darin - Simple Song Of Freedom - LIVE!


Alright -the suit is dated, but the message isn't.  I'm a two-time veteran of war, a combat medic on the ground with the infantry in Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom.  I am firmly convinced we should not be trying to use the Pentagon and Department of Defense as a primary driver in our economy.  War is BIG business.  No one wins a war except the merchants of death.  No one.  PTSD and TBI (traumatic brain injury) are epidemic amongst our soldiers and veterans.  Suicides number in the tens of thousands.  For what?  Think of the trillion+ dollars that have been spent on this neverending War on Terror.  How have you benefited from it?  How could you have if the money had been spent on real job stimulus packages, education, health care and American infrastructure (roads, mass transit, energy)?  Educate yourself.  Start doing what you can to stop your tacit support of the Pentagon war economy.
