Wars that are glamourized, and used as propaganda to make Americans patriotic, and proud to be an American. This is all that Americans know when it comes to wars. They don't hear about the children being killed, people being forced from their land, and the many other atrocities. Life in America goes on. The wars don't affect us as Americans, because they aren't taking place in America. So all that this country knows is what is on the T.V. or in a book. I too was like this, it took me reading books, and doing my own research to learn about what really goes on. Many Americans are blind to what really goes on in a war, It takes stories like this to turn the light on in peoples head, to make people really look at the truth. Millions of people are killed at the hands of the U.S. military and because of all the propaganda Americas are fed, they are proud of it. America does a good job to devalue the life's of people who aren't America, so when we see victims of war we don't see them as fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, or anything else. We see them as what we were taught to see them as our enemies. Mon, 28 Nov 2016 16:29:25 -0500
