Politics

President Thomas Jefferson once said "Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state." Today I see to many of my brothers and sisters in arms playing politician instead of doing what they sworn to do.

Politics is no place for a soldier. We must not play such trivial game. Our game is the game of strategy, honor, courage, commitment and fidelity. Our commitment and loyalty is to the Constitution. So I beg you my brothers and sisters, stop this nonsense of playing politics. Stop choosing a side with congressmen and women who say nothing but lies to get themselves into office so they can be among the privileged.

Stop with the conservative vs. liberal scuffles. It is trivial, prepare yourself, there is an actual war coming and it is right outside your door. The politicians are not going to save you. Your brothers and sisters in arms will. There is a whole new generation of service men and women that can help us. They just need our help to guide them to the right direction. That is what Inception of Defending Freedom is all about, it begins at our oath. Leave the politics to the politicians. We are soldiers, sailors, airmen, coast guardsmen and marines. As I quoted from the great President, every citizen should be a soldier, we are going to need every one of them.

Follow no one man or woman, we have something better than that. We have a supreme document that trumps any man. We have the Constitution. As long as the orders pass down to you are constitutional then follow them to your best capabilities, if someone tries to defile the Constitution, defend it with your life, if someone even thinks about violating any of the basic human rights inherited to every American, defend them.

I'm pissed off

Here is the reason why I am pissed off. I am doing more research on the demographics and statistics of homeless and/or unemployed veterans. This paragraph hurts:

"The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) states that the nation’s homeless veterans are predominantly male, with roughly 8% being female. The majority are single; live in urban areas; and suffer from mental illness, alcohol and/or substance abuse, or co-occurring disorders. About 12% of the adult homeless population are veterans." from NCHV.ORG

It hurts because I can see me ending up in this statistic and most of all it hurts to see my brothers and sisters that are in this statistic. What is more disturbing about that paragraph is that it is reported by the VA. If the f***ing VA knows about it, why aren't they doing anything about it.

 This is the reported budget from the VA.

59,067,000,000 for medicare? Yet 12% of homeless are Veterans ("There are 610,042 people experiencing homelessness on any given night in the United States", ref. http://www.endhomelessness.org), majority due to lack of mental health care. This f***ing sick. I personally suffer from mental health issues and when I get out this is what I am looking forward to.

Look, I get it, the government the military is managed by is corrupt and is constantly violating the Constitution, and many service members don't realize that some of the orders given to them violates the Constitution, but that is what IDF is about, we are committed to put in the effort to bring awareness to the new generation of heroes. Don't punish the my brothers and sisters in arms, they made an oath to uphold the Constitution and they did the best they could. When they took the oath they really believed in it.

Here are the kind of things I can see IDF doing for my brothers and sisters, and it is just the least we would do, imagine with your support how much more we can do.

There are a number of ways you can support IDF:

• Join our G+ Community
• Follow This Blog
• Donate to our GoFundMe Campaign

Let Us Take Action

Ok, so I didn't get to go shoot some footage I wanted today for my special blog post today. The reason is because I broke my finger today and spent a good chunk of my time at an ER.

So hopefully I can do this without it.

My plan was to go interview several unemployed and/or homeless veterans so they can explain for themselves what led them to that point in their life. I personally have talked to a few of these unfortunate veterans, and the theme is pretty common. Our government (which is meant to be us the people) has abandoned these vets, turned a blind eye, and a lot of us citizens has done the same, by not giving them the opportunity to maintain a job. The truth is, employers are afraid of veterans due to so many suffer from mental illness such as depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders and others. Employers don't want to deal with it, even though its the same employers and citizens that have gotten them to that point for not standing up against the government.

So what I want to do is grow IDF to a bigger entity to help support my brothers and sisters. So I started a GoFundMe campaign. The funds will be used to gather the resources necessary to support our cause and 50% of what ever amount we make will go directly to help give a hand up to as many veterans we can. So please help. As a little incentive, if you donate $100 or more, you will receive an IDF t-shirt. Please lets put things into action. Lets actually do what this country has been begging for someone to do for a long time. Lets take action. Thank you in advance for your support.
