This is a HIGHLY recommended Doc about the rise of the US military and the military industrial complex since the close of WWII for all of those who don't understand why the US decides to use force through arms more than anything to solve diplomatic disputes.

It's based off of President Eisenhower's farewell speech at the end of his term of the presidency. I'm not asking everyone to accept this but I think you should see it just so you can make your own decisions.

Nah it's only about ten minutes each part. It's all youtube videos that somebody posted. The split up the movie to make each part.

I watched it and found that "Why We Fight" is a dang good documentary with interviews from very credible people. It is not biased, or a conspiracy theory, but simply the naked truth. Thank you, fishsama999, for posting the links. I think every American should watch it.

My gut is sick over it.

Yeah it's hard to find something that isn't a conspiracy theory online. Especially dealing with such things like this. I fin the "blowback" idea much more credible than most of the ideas that 9/11 was an inside job. Even though I have to say building seven collapsing seriously SERIOUSLY looked like an implosion.

Oh and in the video they talk about eh Gulf of Tonkin being false. Which actually has been turned over recently because the Vietnamese officer who ordered the attack recently said, "Yeah I was there. Yeah I did it out of an act of defense. They got too close."
