Response to Original message |
| 73. Before the Great Oil Attack of 2010, the wars were the most troubling issue that threatened to |
|
destroy our way of living by bankrupting not only our country (more than we already are), but also our spirit.
These wars are disgusting. We need, perhaps, only special ops to go about tracking down the terrorists who are trying to destroy our Democracies around the world, not full military bases, and ground troops that destroy families and young Americans lives.
END THE SHAMEFUL "WARS"!
|
| -Yanno . . . . . it all comes down to ending those two fucking wars. |
