Those who survive continue to be haunted
by the wars they fought in. Half a million veterans of the Vietnam War
suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder -- caused by memories of the
horrors of the war. The number of Vietnam vets who have killed
themselves since the war is greater than the number of U.S. soldiers who
died in the war. [140]
Hundreds of thousands of military veterans have ended up living on the
streets. [141]
And the killing goes on, even between wars.
Every year, more than a thousand U.S. soldiers and sailors are killed in
military accidents. They are burned to death in fires at sea, crushed by
tanks, and blown up by practice artillery fire.
BOOM -- U.S. NAVY
They break their necks jumping out of planes in high wind, and crash in
unsafe helicopters. [142]
?! -- SNAP
These are all victims of Washington's addiction to militarism. And there
are more victims ...
Every year, hundreds of active-duty soldiers and sailors commit suicide.
Of course, nobody is born with a desire to be humiliated and treated
like a "grunt," much less to be killed. So indoctrination into the
culture of militarism starts early.
[Baby with gun:] Bang! Bang! You're dead!
