(Before It's News)

A political analyst says the US administration uses the concepts of sacrifice and heroism to deceive people and awards video game mentality, Press TV reports.

“The entire idea of heroism, military awards, sacrifice, is totally a con. They have been selling this to people for, really, hundreds of years or longer,” Gordon Duff said in an interview with Press TV on Friday.

He slammed the US government’s issuing of awards to drone operators and cyber attack directors, saying the idea of giving a medal for being thousands of miles away from a battle front is nothing new in the United States.

“You could criticize, and certainly everyone is, the idea that the United States is going to be giving…they call it ‘the geek’s medal’, to cyber warriors,” Duff added.

He went on to say that the US administration is actually awarding the people who play video games with the lives of others.

The analyst further pointed out that the American population has forgotten about all the wars going on as such wars are not reported in the papers and nobody mentions them.

“We saw nothing in the papers, no one wants to hear about it and certainly there is no interest in members of the military, their welfare, veterans and their families. We hear nothing of it and the population frankly, to be honest, could care less,” Duff concluded.
