the cry for war

how many times have we heard "Chuck Todd" ,and other news commentators
question ,prod and push the call for boots on the ground in Syria? In Iraq in AFGHANISTAN? REALLY? REALLY REALLY!! How many lives have been lost on both sides because of stupid people buying into false information 13 years ago? How many wmd's did we find in Iraq? Lets remember the news makers pushed and prodded till sanity was overtaken by hysteria and even then people were reluctant. And the famous family member said "congress just give me the right to go to war and I promise we will not use it!" How we bury this little tidbit from being remembered is alarming.
Will we never learn? conflict and war as a way of life for a country leads only to its early demise. Surely history has proven this. All the great warrior nations in world history have ended up financially unable to maintain their armies! to protect their borders, to protect their citizens!

1. they are paid to love war. The owners are buddies with the CEO's with Congress Critters or heads of the military industrial complex companies and are doing them a favor by pushing war. The heads of the media networks feed the talking heads on this shit.

2. War is bloody and dramatic and sell well on TV. Look at how well destruction sells in movies. The M$M isn't going to miss out on that.

Morning lucky remember when we used to go to war with a country and not some group of people in that country? It made more sense the objective was clear. Protect the U.S. from a country that meant us harm.
