Today I saw "Why We Fight" a documentary based on the ominous warning of Dwight D. Eisenhower as he left office. It is a very comprehensive movie that reviews the history of our military-government-congressional relationships since the 1950's.
The film did not tell me anything I did not know, but rather put it together in a straight forward way that affirms my sense of urgency about the fate of the Americam nation. Truly our country is in trouble.
It is a bitter pill to realize I live in a country that is not what it says it is. And we never have been, but it took a while to figure that out. Most American citizens take at face value what they are told by govenment or hear on TV. But even a cursory examination shows we are imposters to other countries and people who have to deal with us.
The actions and policies set by a run-away government have placed our children and grandchildren in a very dangerous place historically. They used-up, no, threw away, the good will countries once felt toward the U.S.
There is too much money to be made on war. That is the point.
I have to figure out what I can do now, and how what I do will help me live with integrity in the future.
