They get brainwashed to believe that whenever they are sent abroad to fight a war they are in fact doing something of transcendent nature; that they are getting involved in something far bigger than themselves; that they are participating in something almost holly; that they are fighting to rescue humanity.”

I have always been aware that suicide among American soldiers on duty and among veterans was the highest in the world but an article on Presstv website brought to my attention the fact that American soldiers commit suicide in an astounding rate; “recent studies have indicated that those who fought in recent US wars overseas are 30 percent to 200 percent more likely to commit suicide than their non-veteran peers”.
There has been an overall increase of self killing among veterans by 20% since 2007. According to Newser.com “the suicide rate among veterans is three times the national figure, and advocates say action is needed”. Ironically, among soldiers on duty the deaths by suicide are more than those in combat.
That makes the life losses suffered by the American military as a direct result of recent wars far higher than previously thought and easily surpasses the deaths of known combat enemies such al-Qaeda and Taliban. The numbers are so shockingly high that one wonders what could be the reasons!
According to psychologists and others who have been studying the phenomenon, the most agreed upon factor is post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There is some truth in that but for reasons to be discussed later, in my view, limiting it wholly or even majorly to PTSD is not telling the full story.
The young men and women recruited by a country which has been stepping out of one war into another and in many instances had been involved in multiple conflicts simultaneously, are often impressionable and believe almost everything told to them and that is the root of the problem.
Some soldiers do get into the army as a matter of choice but the majorities are drafted for reasons ranging from economic benefits to other more disturbing motives. The American army is a master of recruiting and has many tools to do so; not the least is Hollywood and large television networks and hundreds of government supported websites. Through these propaganda machines, young people are being made to believe in fantasies.
They get brainwashed to believe that whenever they are sent abroad to fight a war they are in fact doing something of transcendent nature; that they are getting involved in something far bigger than themselves; that they are participating in something almost holly; that they are fighting to rescue humanity.
They are told and retold that the US is in a crusade to save the world from evil and to spread its great values through enforcing “democracy” around the world. In short, they are made to believe that whoever they are going to be fighting against is evil and they are the heroes who would rid the world of that menace.
So to war they go. Then later when they are too deeply involved, they come to realize that most of what they have been told regarding the enemy was in fact lies. By this point if a soldier hasn’t lost a limb or an eye or his sanity, he has to live with the fact that he wasn’t indeed fighting for good but was mislead. Getting his limb back or washing off the blood from his hands is impossible by this point. The guilt, the resentment and the sheer helplessness to go backwards in time can make many people despair.
Being motivated to go to war by being made to believe that you are embarking on something patriotic and otherwise heroic could be believable for an impressionable young man who has never been in a battlefield before. But the very lie that you are going to be participating in something of great value and in fact sacrificing for something worthwhile is shattered when a soldier returns home to be faced with neglect by their government which had done a marvelous job of convincing them to go to war in the first place.
Upon return, thousands of American veterans lack basic life needs such as a job, shelter (total number of veterans homeless is between 110,000 and 130,000) and healthcare. That is not the treatment a hero deserves, the veteran comes to realize, and what a devastating realization that must be! One’s life is fully altered and no one is there to console and show some understanding and appreciation, that must be truly tough.
The PTSD explanation might have some validity but it is more a convenience for the psychologists working for the pentagon than need to seek the truth. PTSD has all to do with the horrific memories left by the war and their incessant presence in the mind and their consequent effect on the emotions and no one can refute that.
The American soldier, by the time the first bullet passes an inch from his ears; he is awakened to the possibility that he has been duped by politicians into something that is far from resembling just cause.
They come to fathom that they weren’t fighting for anything of transcendent nature but for the interests of the Bushs and Obamas of this world who are often fighting to further Zionism and their own interests. Far from being just cause!!
The dreadful news for the US military and chiefly veterans is that among the 22 veterans who kill themselves every day, 50% are above 50 years old which would hint to the long term and seemingly lifelong psychological damage caused by unprovoked and unnecessary American wars. Even those who persevere, depressions and lifelong mental illnesses and emotional turmoil’s are the only fate for many of them.

Reblogged this on Awakestate.
Unfortunately there was no victory in ww2. That is another part of the deception. The only victors in war have been the bankers and that goes back much further than Vietnam. Sadly the ww2 soldiers and their generation of supporters were the most brainwashed of all.
Yeah, I know that Julie. I didn’t want to get into that. The point being the public had parades for the returning vets after WW II. They were congratulated and accepted by the masses upon their return. The celibration was on.
We were called “baby killers” and spit on. At that young age we didn’t have a clue what was really going on. Didn’t know we were poisoned either. But we did see very clearly there were no more parades.
Of course now the con of all the wars is well known. Back then the only viable source of information was underground newspapers, short wave radio and the John Birch Society. Of which I did all three of. And we’ve just covered the tip of the iceberg here but here is where we want to be to see if we can help these guys. God knows they’ve earned it.
Agreed. Doc thanks for your efforts. I do think its going to be a major blow to the many sleepers when they realize that they and their loved ones were so cruelly manipulated into fighting and dying in these needless wars.
The single bigggest factor is: THEY’VE BEEN POISONED… I’ve been there. We were lucky, all we had to contend with was Agent Orange. What these guys get nowadays is genocidal. Vaccination after vaccination just to go there and once there the depleted Uranium finishes the job. Then upon returning all they get from the VA is more chemical poisoning via prescription drugs. They don’t have a chance. And that’s BEFORE all the factors listed above kick in, which literally breaks your heart and then the PTSD shows up. Again, I’ve been there and checking out becomes a very viable option. I considered it many times back in the 80′s before I discovered (they admitted) the chemical connection.
The ONLY chance they have is detox, detox, detox. No more drugs, no more vaccinations and get cleaning the body of all those poisons. NOT an easy task, not easy at all. A hell just about as bad as the war itself was. Couple the detox up with confrontational therapy to handle the PTSD and you can get your life back.
The problem is the control the drug companies have over society. Detox is sooooooooo politically inncorrect its difficult to talk these sick guys into doing it. Which I understand also because when that sick and having gone through what you’ve gone through YOU DON’T TRUST ANYBODY. The people you had to trust during the war for your food, ammo, and other survival stuff were the very ones getting you killed. If you survive that ANY authority figure beciomes suspect. Can’t trust em.
When I started teaching the detox and anti-parasite protocols back in 2000. I could only reach about half the vets. Those that did the program got their life back, those who didn’t are dead now. But its NOT an easy road. Takes anywhere from six months to three years to do. Depending on the volume of chemical poisoning and the length of time having it in your body.
There are other factors also. I wrote an essay once titled “No more Parades” that deals with the rejection factors that have to be dealt with mentally since Vietnam to the present conflicts. Maybe I should post that here. The wars don’t end in victory like WW II and before. They’re never ending so how can there be a parade when we’ve won.
AND, this is all by design by the Bankers who run both sides of the conflict. Which is NOT possible to comprehend for us sane people. Thus the heartbreak.
The chemicals, getting rid of the chemicals is the ONLY way these guys have any chance at all of getting somewhat of a “normal” life back. The mental aborations CANNOT be handled until the chemicals are gone. The vet literally cannot hear you because of the chemicals. You’re talking to the drugs. Thus another reason the difficulty in getting them to detox.
What they do to the Vet is beyond criminal. We’re going to have to invent a word to define it.
I was one of the lucky ones. I pieced my way through this knowing better than to go the “medical” way and came up with some viable answers. And even tough I’m a vet and have been were they currently are they cannot trust me. Its part of the problem. But sooner or later they’re going to HAVE to make that decision. To trust somebody or check-out. So far the check-outs are winning. Doc
Doc .. Thank you for speaking with such clarity and truth !
Doc, people like you are going to be needed when this comes to a halt. These Vets are going to need our help – I hope you will find the time and be able to share your wisdom. Many years ago, I remember speaking with a middle-aged Englishman in the market, who started crying, as he told me how soldiers were abused beyond belief to get them to ‘kill’. He seemed to understand the horrible road back that many men would have to walk to recover from this sort of abuse. Western medicine generally doesn’t have a clue; the medical community is also asleep and geared to prescribing pills. . . doesn’t work.
Change how you feel, and you change your body chemistry, and you don’t need pills. To change your feelings you have to become conscious and aware of them and their subtle messages that are buried very deeply. When you can step back and understand what is going on, you have a choice about how to respond.
Over 15 years ago, I walked out of a life that I couldn’t tolerate anymore. I didn’t see it coming. Hadn’t a clue; had been taking ‘pills’ for years, having been told I had an imbalance in my body chemistry. (Candace Pert’s book, Molecules of Emotion, proves that our body chemistry is created by our feelings, not the other way around!) What I did threw me into PTSS and the Kundalini Awakening. I was an energetic mess . . . and I fought my way back.
Doc, we’re going to need people who will help those folks who want to make the return journey, and I hope that in some way you will find you want to be on board helping those people.
Hugs,

I’m here Gene, Ready to go too. Keep an eye on youtube.
I hope the first thing they know is that they are forgiven. To go to war to help your country etc. is a good thing. To learn later as a wiser person that you were mislead and it was for mostly evil purposes must be a terrible realization.
They are forgiven. It can be a new beginning if they can teach others from their mistakes and begin to contribute to a world of love and peace.
All things are possible.
Dear Energy Doc. May i ask… What War or country are you refering to when you say ” to go to war to help your country is a good thing” ?
Allowing oneself to Be trained to kill as if it is a good thing is one of the first mistakes. I remember them telling us to kill everyone including the ladies and the children…
Very well said all combat or non combat people should read this.
