Iraq and Afghanistan, at the crossroads of civilizations and their battles for thousands of years. Look at the youngsters, and you’ll see the physical characteristics of several conquering armies mixed in. I tried watching the Ken Burns doc “Vietnam,” and couldn’t watch more than a few minutes. I was right in the thick of that time and remember the chaos and sadness. Young people should watch it, and learn — if they haven’t been desensitized by recent events.
Afghanistan is America’s longest undeclared war and W. Bush put us there under false pretenses and Trump just signed America up for another stint. Thanks for all the death, destruction and war Republicans, its what you do best.
Number one lesson about wars…… Old men insecure in their sexuality buy into Wars as a way of decreasing the competition from their own young men for their own young women. If there are less young men for young women to marry it’s so much easier for Old Men to get trophy wives. Am I being cynical? Maybe? Does it work that way? Yes. But if you think about it and you are truthful with yourself you will see that it is so.

What about Trump? Sorry, it only seems like 30 years.
