“I remember Afghanistan as a dusty beige nightmare of a place full of proud, brave people who did not fucking want us there. We called them Hajjis and worse and they were better than we were, braver & stronger & smarter.” My conversation with @LauraJedeed. youtube.com/qjUkRTRX_EI

Thank you Marianne and Laura for your radical truth telling concerning the war in Afghanistan. Veterans, such as you Laura, are keepers of the story- and it was an honor to hear yours.

America seems to keep this racist way of thinking, as if we are bringing fire to the savages, as if we are better than them. We poured trillions into trying to solve other countries cultural issues while our own people continue to struggle and suffer for no good reason!

We ain't what we used to be & even then we could of used a lot of improvement. Yesterday a judge in Calif ruled you can punch and injure an unconscious woman and it can be considered part of consensual (rough) sex
