Occupy Bagram

 The above picture is a cogent reminder that “a picture is worth a thousand words”. While the Occupy Wall Street movement represents the greedy in the country, there are two components of this greed. The first part consists of the people out on the street. They are greedy because they want the American dream without earning it because someone else is not paying their “fair share” to pay for them. They do not have any understanding of respect including the concept that respect, like wealth, must be earned. The soldiers in Afghanistan understand respect as well as other fundamental American principles worth fighting for: freedom, property, honor and national security.

The second part of greed is the people who are advocating and supporting this movement for their own purposes. George Soros, the labor unions, the media and elected officials at all levels. In North Carolina, our own Secretary of State, Elaine Marshall is using footage of her Day of Rebellion speech in Raleigh as a fund raiser.

The usual suspects in Washington supporting this “movement” include Maxine Waters, Bill Clinton and president Obama:

I believe the plan outlined by Van Jones, Francis Fox Piven, Dr. Paul Ehrlich and Stephen Lerner is the endgame of Occupy Wall Street. This simple conclusion is based on logic: they are implementing the plan that they have previously outlined. When this part of greed is so confident and arrogant that they tell us how they will destroy the country, what options are left for Americans who still believe in our founding principles?

You blatantly forgot the most greedy of them all, Wall Street. They have robbed us blind for years and all you want to do is vilify the OWS protestors, made up of a wide variation of individuals. Including those with jobs(maybe more than one), retired and ex military, college students, and any one else that is feed up with way Wall Street uses politicians as the puppets to get everything they want because they have the most money. We are in this terrible economic state because Wall street and the “wars” are sucking up all the money. Stop drinking the rich elite kool-aid and pay attention!!

For someone who has lived in Quetta off and on for 20 years, your arrogance and naivete is overwhelming. Who are you protecting, besides your own butt? Do you believe in Kharzai, the consultant to Chevron oil? Or to you follow the false crusader of “Three Cups of Tea”? Or are you just filling the pockets of Dick Cheney and Halliburton? You should think before you put your life on the line for propaganda. You are not helping the people of the world striving for justice and bring nothing but harm to your country. Get a REAL job and do something to make this world a better place. PUT DOWN YOUR GUNS!!!USE YOUR BRAIN!!!DON’T BE A MONKEY HEAD ON A STICK!

If you believed in HONOR you would not kill innocent people daily with drones, and land mines. Sorry, I was there during drunken” Charlie Wilson’s War” and saw it all; the Americans hustling in their stinger missles in exchange for “H”. Pretty much the Iran/ Contra Scam all over again..drugs for guns…capitalist always gotta make a buck, that just makes it all sound sooo noble “fighting for freedom”. Please GO HOME!!! GET A LIFE!

So the soldiers in this picture aren’t supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement? If so, why aren’t they and how does Occupy Bangram tie in with OWS?

Just a curious high school student.
Thank you.

Clearly our education system is messed up. And it is quite obvious our government has its blotches too.
However, I am fairly intellectual student and I don’t understand the picture.
Instead of your nasty reply-which I suspect insulted me- I would have merely preferred an answer. The only way I can learn is if I am taught…
