I have been binging M*A*S*H lately. [View all]

And one of the episodes I recently watched, the characters were talking about the current war and future wars. And it got me thinking about this. Since the Civil War ended, the United States has been involved in:

- World War I (1914 - 1918)

- World War II (1939 - 1945)

- Korean War (1950 - 1953)

- Vietnam War (1955 - 1975)

- The Gulf War (1990 - 1992)

- Iraq War (2003 - 2011)

- Afghanistan (2001 - 2021)

And now the dipshits in charge have changed the name from the Department of Defense to the Department of War for god knows what reason and they already have their sights set on their first target, which is all based on blatant lies and criminally insane Fox News conspiracy theories that speak directly to Trump himself. And he believes it. We are doomed as a country until we decide to do something about the military industrial complex. Something has to be done.
