(55,981 posts)Hundreds of thousands of innocent people died horrible, horrible deaths. Five million Iraqis became refugees. Thousands of American troops killed and tens of thousands wounded and came home to find cut safety nets, many ending up on the streets or in prison. The financial cost was in the trillions which is to be borne by the 99% (not the 1%). The suicide rate for veterans is about 22 per day (none in the 1%). We (the 99% we, not the ruling 1%) have lost many freedoms via acts like the Patriot Act.
This war broke the 99% to a point that we may not recover. The 1% gained more wealth. Those that supported this war should see consequences. HRC made a mistake, a mistake that hurt us in the 99% while helping the 1%. It was a big mistake and she should never be trusted again.
