WAR IS IMPERSONAL IF YOU AREN’T THERE

 

 

The people who are sending us to war don’t have any skin in the game.  To them, it is a game.

 

We destroyed their missile sights – we destroyed their navy – we are winning – we are invincible – we have casualties?  It happens.-  We’ll force regime change – take their oil – destroy their drone capability – destroy their nuclear capability – I’m the greatest President – It’s over when I think it’s over in my bones…  they say, Yes Sir Mr. President…

I would be willing to bet that Trump can not remember the name of one of the 13  military personnel who have so far died as a result of his war.

Remember suckers and losers? 

Neil deGrasse Tyson has written two books that further explore war and civilization:  Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization and Accessory to War.

 

We are now at war in the Middle East: at war, not because Iran is a threat to the homeland; not to protect Israel; not because of weapons of mass destruction; not to force regime change; not to free the Iranian people.

 

Those are the excuses.  We are at war in the Middle East because that is who we are.  We are homo sapiens.

 

Look at the history of the world.  Humans make war because it is in our DNA (see The Accidental Homo Sapiens by Tattersall and Desalle.)

 

When Australopithecus Lucy walked across the African plains, the father of her child was probably smashed in the head by his best friend, to acquire his food and his female.

 

The first battles were likely fought over food and females.   Since that time, we have expanded our reasons for killing.   

Though it is likely World War 4 will be fought over food and females. 

This war began as a vanity move by Trump - it seems to have backfired.

Let's quit calling this the Iran War.

Trump likes his name on everything

Let's call it:
