I open my blinds and see blue clear skies and a quiet sunny day, safe and sound in my small apartment but I’m feeling so sad. I know we will be sending more young people out to give their lives. Our supposed “pullout” from Middle East areas was never going to be a solution. I personally think there never will be a solution. These conflicts have been going on forever and even before 9/11 we’ve been in it, never out of it, starting with our huge consumption of oil years ago, where it is and how we get it. Our powerful position in the world, and the convenience and money oil generates promotes my assumption wars over it will never end.
We need to know and think about all of the military personnel stationed outside the US and realize war is and has been ongoing.
