120 War Vets Commit Suicide Each Week
'From the mountains of gathered information, they sifted out the suicides of those Americans who had served in the armed forces. What they discovered is that in 2005 alone -- and remember, this is just in 45 states -- there were at least 6,256 veteran suicides, 120 every week for a year and an average of 17 every day.'
But who cares? They've done their job as cannon fodder and 'dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy', as Kissinger called them.

The Poor Bloody Infantry
by David Icke
Oh hello lad
Nice of you to come
To fight for king and country
You are a hero, son
Now let's have a look at you
Just say 'Ahhh' and cough
Yes, that's fine
I'll sign the form
You're ready for the off.
(In fact, he's got a problem
Something not quite right
But I have to close my eyes to that
We have a war to fight
I have to say that he can go
Even when there's doubt
I have to send them down the line
Get them kitted out.)
So off they go to Normandy
Verdun or the Somme
Bits of kids and fathers
Fodder for a bomb
And fodder for the generals
With their master plans
The educated idiots
With blood upon their hands.
Wham! Bang! Wham! Bang! Bang!
Bloody hell, hit the ground!
Screech! Capow!
Their bodies never found.
Each a grim statistic
Each a telegram
Your loved one killed in action
He was a hero, ma'am.
And by way of compensation
We have a pension here for you
To help you bring the kids up
To help to see you through
(We don't tell her it's a pittance
That she'll never see her husband's grave
That he's no longer any use to us
When we have the world to 'save'.)
And what of the survivors?
With broken body
Broken mind?
When they come home from battle
What justice do they find?
'Right, move along now
I have so much to do
I have a lot to see today
Can't spend much time with you.
Now you say you've been acting funny
Since you came back home from war
That every time you close your eyes
You re-live the hell you saw
You say you seem to cry alot
That you've tried to take your life
You say you're unemployable
Depend upon your wife.
Well, I have to say I'm sorry
The answer must be 'No'
We can't pay you compensation
I can't bend the rules, you know
It's clear you have a problem
You might even be insane
But you cannot prove to me
It was caused at Alamein.
But it's no good you complaining
We all made a sacrifice
You'll try to make the best of it
If you ask for my advice
It could have been much worse, you know
After all, we won
Like I told you years ago,
You are a hero, son.
