Over sixty years of victoryless wars,

[MadHound]

And what have we gotten? Deeper in debt, our reputation in shambles. The only benefit for these wars has been to line the pockets of the wealthy.

You would think we would have learned from Vietnam, but here we are, in Afghanistan for who knows how long. Wasting men, wasting money and killing innocents.

Want to solve the debt problem, in fact want to solve a lot of problems in this country? Stop the propagation of these victoryless wars.

1. Still in Afghanistan, still in Iraq, still in Pakistan, still in Yemen.

Both parties are addicted to war.

[valerief]

2. Ah, the rich get richer and the poor get duped. Keep sending your kids to battle for the 1%, America

[polichick]

3. Yes, and we should also close many, many of the almost 800 bases...

...we have around the world (not counting those in the two war areas). The end of empire will come one way or another - we should choose to end it ourselves and save our democracy.

[El Supremo]

4. What is "victory"?

Everyone is a loser. No more wars period!

[leftstreet]

6. Profit

[polichick]

9. That's it - the mic is all about big business. nt

[tjwash]

7. Whadya mean victoryless.

What about Grenada?

[HereSince1628]

10. And don't forget Pappy's war in Panama!

Victories are hard to come by and shouldn't be belittled, even if they ARE little.

[Sonoman]

13. "You forgot Panama."

Wasn't it ghwb who blurted that out in debate?

8. K&R The Wars of Capitalist Aggression are killing the planet & us n/t

[BadgerKid]

11. How many of the 1-2%ers are in Congress or their friends?

I'd bet many. Thus the wars play on.

[fascisthunter]

12. and look who profited from the wars

they are probably the ones who helped start them.

[RKP5637]

14. And the MIC loves it, and Americans are brainwashed into supporting more and more war. War is

another form of big business under the false flag of patriotism. The wealthy get wealthier. Wake up Americans, most of you aren't in the top 2%!

[stray cat]

15. Iraq withdrew from kuiwait

[MadHound]

16. And yet we continued to bomb it, starve it, and kill its citizens

All throughout the Clinton years. More low level war for over a decade until Bush kicked it back into high gear.

Now it is back to being a low grade war, but war it still is, without end, without victory.

18. Let's start a war we can win. Invade Bermuda.

We'll show them who wears the shorts in this hemisphere.
