ReplyWe do teach History in school, Bill, the kids are too busy playing with their cell phones to pay attention or they’re dozing off. Not all of them, but the majority. Take their phones away for 1 hour and it becomes “an assault on their freedom”. What a joke school is in America.
ReplyIt deeply angers me when Trump supporters say they are against foreign commitments and “forever wars” because they are the _exact same people_ who supported them in the first place.
Replywhen politicians quit profiting and former generals stop taking defense contracting roles than maybe we would have change
ReplyAfghanistan was to feed the military industrial complex and nothing more!!!
ReplyBin Laden wasn’t even in Afghanistan. He was killed in Pakistan which is supposedly our ally. So why didn’t we attack Pakistan for “harboring terrorists?” Maybe because they have nukes? Afghanistan was just a useful punching bag to make the angry American people feel like they got some revenge for 9/11. It was just a money making machine for the military industrial complex, and the CIA which is skimming profits off the heroin trade. This was definitely a “dumb war.”
ReplySo stupid. Obama sent even more troops to Afghanistan during his term.
Replyhalf the discretionary federal budget goes to the military industrial complex. its been like that for 20 years. there is no political appetite for fixing domestic issues. we need to stop the lobbyists from enabling the grift.
ReplyWe went to Afghanistan because of the poppies it was for the heroin
ReplyThere goes Maher blaming young people for everything acting like everyone in power isn’t over 70.
ReplyWe went there for the same reason the Ruskies went there. Because it is a perfect strategic position to keep a thumb over the entire Middle East.
Or would be, if anyone could ever actually control it.
ReplyGood lucky teaching history if you can’t teach Critical race theory! Was there only two wars that the Americans won were American Revolutionary War and their only own civil war?
ReplyMen lying to us since 1619? Who knew men lying was a thing? How much did Raytheon make off the bomb that was dropped today? We are talking to terrorists in Afghanistan and letting domestic terrorists off the hook here. I am just sick of this mess!
ReplyYou idiots invaded and stayed there for the poppy field’s. It’s called the drug war.
ReplyWar is a racquet. Save the American taxpayers. Stop the corruption.
ReplyFeed people US money and ask them to stop wanting more? Insanity!
