And saving the lives of our men and women who serve this country. They are being killed for greed nothing else.

We dont have to isolate our selves just simply stop dropping bombs and withdraw our military and bring our men and women home to fix this country.

Its time the people start determing their own destiny. There is a genocide going on in Burma right now we are not there. Death and brutality in Thailand. There are evil rulers totalitarian animals ruling so many countries and many are supposedly our allies.

Ending our war against the Muslim world (which under Trump thats truly what it is) and withdrawing our troops from conflicts that are none of our business is the right thing to do. Withdrawing our support from evil dictators and oppressive regimes also the right thing to do.
