Of all the comments, the ones that seems to ring the most true was by Wanda. Our involvement in the Spanish-American War was truly regrettable. The Spanish tried to avoid the war and the newspaper Barons William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer did their utmost to promote the war. After the war, the Phillipinos were expecting liberation from Spain and instead were subjugated by the US Army. Twice as many American died during the Phillipine Insurrection as were killed in the Spanish American War. If the US had given the Phillipinos their freedom, our war with Japan might have beeen avoided.

The most significant transformation in the American conduct of war since World War II and the invention of the atomic bomb, was not technological, but cultural, social, and political- THE REMOVAL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM THE CONDUCT OF WAR. (Adrian Lewis, THE AMERICAN CULTURE OF WAR (Routledge, 2007).

If Professor Fukuyama, THE AMERICAN INTEREST’s editors, and the rest of our foreign policy “elite” wish to know who removed the American people from the conduct of war, they need only look in the mirror.

Cambodia genocide, Tibet genocide, etc etc Ukraine millions of victims, Poland victims at the hands of the Communist , Hungary so so so so on

No marches not protest, not burning of Red China flags,
Not solidarity for the millions of humans beings who suffer and keep suffering still today.

Those lay and clergy who claim to be against death penalty like Susan Sarandon but who join to support regimes like Castro cuba or the Palestines whose legal system allows the practice death penalty , those who march for disarm the West but support and applaud the Arm Race of Non Western
Those who rant against America opposing self determination of the people like in the case of Puerto Rico which enjoys free election and the Independent Party always receive low per cent

Those who never rant against Red China blackmailing at gun point the people of Taiwan . Taiwanese want to choose their own destiny not to be force to become Chinese province even the majority of the Taiwanese are not ethnically Chinese but
Those who rant for Pro determination of th e
people silence against clear case of imperialism
Israel, before Palestine, Israel existed.
So if the case who were first,
Clearly Israel historically had a realistic , legitimate claim. At least that the people forget that before the Arabs conquered the Holy Land the Jews before the Greeks ,Romans already were there
Same patterns
Ideologies who practice warfare conquer are exempt of any attack
Despite having a clear historical track records
Those who despise Western , American arm forces
Never seems to find
The Warlike, Imperialistic Hordes of Colonial
Communist, Islamic etc Conqueror
Evil, bad , disgusting. People has been murder, torture but because it is due to Western war efforts, such people, such fellow
humans does not matter

While Nationalism Patriotism is exalted in all those culture

For those crowd of Useful tool
Many of them part of the educated elite
of the successful business community ,
who cry against America when America confront torture and punish the perpetrators while
They , embrace people and culture who according to Human Rights Watch , practice torture without accountability

But Compare to whom, measure to whom,

They are the ones who enjoy the rights in America to act like demagogues freely while they join in alliance with regimes who refuse such privileges to their own people

And they blind with hate , will never change

Several of the Victory at Sea episodes on the BBC were preceded by an onscreen announcer reminding viewers that ‘this is an American programme made for Americans and emphasises US contributions to the war in this treatre’.

This was because there was quite considerable negative reaction from UK and Canadian veterans to the episodes on the Battle of the Atlantic which showed US ships and aircraft in action and hardly mentioned the Royal Navy or the Royal Canadian Navy.

Ever since rock and roll changed us forever, and most of all during Vietnam and afterwards, we saw the musical culture grow fangs. Non-entities such as Bob Dylan and various other pretend poets and musicians took on a mythical status. Today we have instead of musical giants, the offspring of a clueless society. Where there was once music we now hear grunts, defiance and banality.
