My hope for a long time now has been that our country would change from a government controlled by the Pentagon with a budget for them that makes it impossible to implement and sustain programs we need "for the people".
Was I ever naive to actually think such a thing because the reality is just the opposite. 25 this month killed in Afghanistan and most are good with that - thinking they get a pass for not saying no to perpetual war for the corporations because they spend a few minutes today to acknowledge those killed in our wars.
Paying homage to these men and women across the land doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot if at every cemetery there is not a cry by the speakers and attendee's to bring this perpetual war machine to an end.
We're warriors and that's not gonna change.
ReplyDeleteI hope you mean us and not them.
ReplyDeleteI hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.

That was on a little lake in Missouri. It caught my eye and lo and behold as they say this picture happened. To me this represents a kids imagination. Thank you!
