Your trailer implies that the military is culpable in what has happened. I would say to you, stop attacking the heart of America. You can not stand against the wrath of freedoms bells.

The "American Way of War" and its aftermath.

The American Way of War has existed since the destruction of Native Americans in order to grab their land, and gone on ever since.
"I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested. During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents." --Major General Smedley Butler, USMC, double recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, 1933, author of "War is a Racket"
