ABC News: Combat Stress Gives Military Pause (via retropolitics)
Did you notice within the first sentence? “Even as they battle the enemy around the world,…” . America wages war around the world, anywhere in fact except on her own soil. When any other country does this it’s called imperialism or aggression but when America does it, it becomes self defence. When the Soviet Union was invited into Afghanistan by the then communist led Afghan government, it was portrayed by the West as a clear act of aggression and imperialist expansion. However when America and Britain are invited in by the new pro-western government it’s a whole new ball game. Maybe it’s past time for America to sit back, take a deep breath and ask itself if it’s current foreign policy is really sustainable.
