i'd imagine that it makes some uncomfortable...i've noticed certain questions get ignored, certain topics are shunned, because as the adage says, the truth hurts. this isn't something that some people expected to find out about the current commander in chief.
i hate the tactics-i especially am appalled at how they decide if someone is a casualty or not. of a certain age, sex, you're automatically a bad guy. amazing.
we need some students of history in government, and we need to completely rethinkg our defense and foreign policy.
when pearl harbor was hit, yamamoto said something along the lines of fearing they'd woken a sleeping giant, and filled him with resolve. we weren't a superpower, but we were feared all the same because of our industry, and our general attitude of having great strength of will. that was also shown in ww1, when germany was hoping to end things before we could get over there and change the course of war. ooops.
why the push after ww2 to have a huge, permanent standing army? why the moves to install countless bases overseas? whey the permanent carrying of a big stick? one need only look at the changes since ww2 and the pickles we've gotten ourselves into to see we've made huge mistakes. no need to continue them.
drone strikes in multiple countries, the longest war in our nations history still being waged....all to what end?
