What if War Toys reflected Reality?
(In July 2009 Colorado Springs Gazette published a two-part series entitled âÂÂCasualties of WarâÂÂ. The articles focused on a single battalion based at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, who since returning from duty in Iraq had been involved in brawls, beatings, rapes, drunk driving, drug deals, domestic violence, shootings, stabbings, kidnapping and suicides. Returning soldiers were committing murder at a rate 20 times greater than other young American males. A separate investigation into the high suicide rate among veterans published in the New York Times in October 2010 revealed that three times as many California veterans and active service members were dying soon after returning home than those being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. We hear little about the personal hell soldiers live through after returning home.)
A Nation Cheers, as the US goes rogue and executes Osama Bin Laden. It was a Hit Job.
This has certainly done much to boost Obama's ratings, make us edgy with Pakistan and softened the public toward an impending action against them, renewed Islamophobia; all while dividing what is left of the Left about whether or not these actions were moral, ethical, legal or warranted.
Eichmann was eventually tried in Jerusalem for his part in the genocide of the Jewish people, why is that still not our standard?
Some are saying even discussing this question denigrates the other issues facing we Socialists... But I find it imperative to NOT give tacit approval to the flagrant flushing of the PROCESS that we once claimed made us a Nation of Laws.
I will be addressing these questions and much more tonight.
Game On.
