A veteran of George Washington's army, in 1779, said, "I really felt guilty as I applied the torch to huts that were homes of content until we ravagers came spreading desolation everywhere...Our mission here is ostensibly to destroy but may it not transpire, that we pillagers are carelessly sowing the seed of Empire?" The soldier wrote this as Washington's Army set out to remove the Iroquois civilization from New York state so that the U.S. government could expand its borders westward toward the Mississippi River. The creation of the American empire was underway. (...) What happens to the pent-up violence inside these American GI's when they return? They feel guilt but have been told they are "heroes", so they hold the conflicted feelings inside and turn on their loved ones, erupting like molten volcanoes. The corporate culture does not care about what they feel. The corporate culture does not want to talk about the pain and suffering of the GI's because the corporate culture has plans for endless war in order to subdue the world for its benefit.
