I lied. It was easier than telling the truth, and shorter. I stopped commenting on POC when Dale censored my critique of a vet who was bragging about helping out a younger vet. I thought both of them should be ashamed of having participated in U.S. colonial wars, and Dale wouldn't print my criticism. He offered to print a separate article, if I wanted to write it, criticizing war, but I was still hot about being censored, so quit writing for the POC completely. I should have taken him up on it, but as long as there are people who glorify war and their "service" in it, we will continue to have senseless, illegal, unnecessary wars. The Vietnam war ended because troops refused to fight it and began fragging their officers. If only today's soldiers were as moral.
"War makes murderers out of otherwise decent people. All wars, and all decent people."
