One of America’s weaknesses is a tendency to move off a topic as soon as it becomes uncomfortable. We’re not known as a nation for deep reflection, often failing to learn the deeper lessons an experience affords and thus dooming ourselves to repeat it.
While I applaud and support Marianne's ongoing endeavor to inform the public of our misdeeds, well, we must all take action to prevent debacles! One method being used against the toxic fossil-fuel industry that is trending well, for starters, is having major pension funds, U.S. cities, and institutions, like educational universities, divest from stocks, like Exxon, etc., and this example can be quickly shifted to military defense contractors too! When a country, like ours, loses its moral compass, particularly, among the super wealthy; then, our only recourse is hitting them where it hurts: their pocket books! (So consciously divest from any stocks you may own that are harmful too humanity--there are many. It's my way of trying to fight back with my meager investments albeit I sometimes error out of ignorance!)
Marianne, you are the first - to my knowledge - to pull together so many different voices and perspectives to present a fuller picture of our 20-year debacle in Afghanistan (as in Iraq!) and the effects it leaves us to grapple with today. With God’s help, may we find our way to a more peaceful future before it’s too late! Thank you, my brave and courageous 2020 Presidential Candidate! 💕❤️💕
What we've done in these 3 wars is no different than how our government operates in our country. IT IS NOT A SUCCESSFUL OPERATING SYSTEM.....if it was, we wouldn't have generational welfare. Our government has no idea how to help people move from survive to thrive.....they do know, however, how to keep people dependent and in survival mode. What we do inside is how we do it outside. We are as ineffective in running our governmental agencies as we are in fighting wars.
