I bleed red. I support intervention in Syria.

63. So stop the murders by killing more civilians?

Because that is what will happen. These strikes are not going to just hit the military, nice and clean, they will also kill women and children, destroy businesses and homes. And it never just ends with a strike. We will end up in another clusterfuck like Afghanistan.

You might support it, but it scares the shit out of me. Both my brother and my son have skin in the game and it was just getting to the point where I wasn't as nervous about them deployed.

My daughter was born on Aug 24 1990. 6 weeks later we accompanied my brother to the airport as he headed for Iraq. It was one of the few times I saw my mother cry. That was the first Iraq war.

Then there was Somalia.

Then Afghanistan.

Then Iraq.

She just turned 23 and has never really known a time that our country was not at war. It's normal to her. Our being at War is her normal.

And that is fucked up!

We need to stop policing the world and start fixing things here at home.
