28. The tossing of the Geneva Conventions still stuns me a bit. Our
troops deserve better than to be made targets for torture and execution. How did they expect to "win" their "war" without protection for our troops? Or at least the facade of protection?

I know, their point is not to win, but to control and pillage. Are the current military leaders so complicit that they don't care what is happening to the troops? Where is the honor of standing up to illegal orders in the top brass? There was a major coup and no one bothered to tell us, imo.

We now have enemies that are 5 years old. Babs must be so very proud. Generations will live in fear, all for lies and greed.

Damned if we do and damned if we don't is a very clear description of where we stand at this time in US history. I planned on traveling the world in my older age. So much for that ever happening now.

Is a major revolution now the only salvation left to the US? If we were to take back control would it show the world we do not condone our government's actions and earn some hope for our future generations? Would that convince the world?

We may be down, but we're not out yet!
