    Never forget Memorial day isn’t about veterans, it’s about government employees wanting another day off. 2010; USA Today published an article “Federal pay ahead of private industry”, which indicates federal workers earn around $37,000 more each year than comparable civilians, when benefits are included. Federal employee unions reps state for otherwise bureaucratic/office work and make twice as much as private sector workers for doing the same thing.

    Memorial Day is a sad day where we remember those who died serving their country. It is a sad day, nothing to celebrate. However, it seems everyone thinks its a flag waving day to honor veterans. Not to get wasted on beer and eat hot dogs. Memorial day was founded after the horrible bloody battles US troops came back from in World war I.

    Books about World War I are not popular in the USA because they are depressing. The world’s great European powers destroyed a generation of men in pointless bloody battles. Few Americans realize that World War I was America’s worst foreign policy blunder that killed millions and set the stage for World War II.

    When the “Great War” began in 1914, royals and generals hoped for swift victories. However, advances in technology, mostly machine guns and artillery, allowed concentrated firepower to annihilate attacking formations. The war in France bogged down into a bloody stalemate and the construction of fortified positions ensured that any offensive would grind to a stop. The king of England and Germany were first cousins who grew up together, so a peaceful resolution was likely in 1916.

    The problem was that British bankers had loaned its government lots of money and most could not be repaid. They wanted to win the war so they could loot Germany by requiring Germans to pay reparations so the British government could repay them. If they could lure the powerful USA to join the war, victory was assured. They blocked peace efforts and used their agents of influence to manipulate the USA into joining the war. Soon after President Wilson was elected with the promise to stay out the war, he worked with Congress to declare war.

    As a result, the war dragged on for two more bloody years before enough American men and material arrived in France to turn the tide. The war was unpopular back home, leading Wilson to censor the US mail by blocking anti-war newsletters and magazines. He threw thousands of political opponents in jail, implemented a draft to fill out the Army, and sent these reluctant Americans into battle with little training and poor equipment. The Americans fought bravely, but the Germans had three years of combat experience and chewed up American units foolishly thrown into frontal attacks that had little chance of success. After four years of war, the Germans had no more manpower to replace losses, and surrendered based on a just peace promised by President Wilson. That never happened and Germany was looted and humiliated, which led to the rise of the Nazis and World War II.

    So this Memorial Day, remember the 116,516 Americans President Wilson killed in that senseless war. Moreover, the American intervention extended the war and resulted in World War II. American GIs slaughtered Germans so British bankers could collect debts, with interest! I was inspired to write this blog post after reading the brilliant David Stockman’s recent essay about America’s disastrous intervention in World War I. The “Suez Crisis” is considered the official end of the British empire. The British weakened by idiotic World War I that led to bloody World War II. At the end of that war, the British were bankrupt but needed to deal with rebellious colonies. The British still had many troops in Egypt and Middle East. American President Eisenhower and his bankers refused to lend yet more money to an arrogant, overextended and dying empire. This led to a British financial crisis and a controlled collapse.

    Warmongering neocons have run American foreign policy for two decades and threaten war everywhere. Should the near bankrupt USA find itself in a pointless war and request assistance from allies, they may refuse and dump dollars instead. This may result in a military defeat along with a financial collapse and domestic political unrest signaling the end of the American “empire”.
