An American veteran of WW2.
I am 81 years old and a veteran of WW2. I remember what the Nazi's were doing
in Germany very well. Here in America our government is getting dangerously
close to acting just like the Nazi's were in Germany and the Germans were
doing it for 'better security' as we are doing.
The Germans got more and more paranoid (of their own people) and began
watching all Germans and tightened security, and made Germans carry and show
identity papers whenever the police and soldiers wanted to see them. They had
German kids telling on their parents. It was a horror.
We are starting down the same path. The excuse is that we need to do this to
protect our Citizens but the trouble is more and more of our freedoms are
going and we are beginning to be like a gigantic outdoor prison.
It is not like the America I love and fought for. I fought for the freedom of
Americans and not for a selfish United Stated Corporation which is more
interested in money and power than it is in the People of America.
I don't look and see a kindly Uncle Sam anymore. I see a bullying Big
Brother. Sorry to be so blunt but it is how I feel....
