Grenada
Beirut

IraqNow I know I’ve said that this is not the America I grew up in, but I was wrong. I didn’t really pay attention to my early youth. We have been involved in an armed conflict somewhere on the globe during my entire life! How f*#ked up is that? Unreal, I guess with age does come wisdom to some people. Of all the countries named above how many can you point to on a map? By the way this does not include the covert operations carried on by the CIA.
We have taken to calling every Vet. fortunate or not a Hero. This is to make US on the home front feel good since our troops are fighting pointless conflicts without an exit strategy! Will you please wake up and stop drinking the cool aid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before it’s all said and done there will be a reckoning and it scares me to write that it will affect us more then it will the American machine ie. our Government. Even though you may not remember how these conflicts started or ended do you know who does? The people we shot on the ground and carpet bombed from the air. They won’t forget and cultures have a long memory. Think about it!
