My father served in Vietnam. My older sister died while he was there. He never forgave this country for that war
“Nobody knew why we were there. Nobody knew when we would come home. We were all just trying to stay alive.”
We don’t need that kind of ‘qualified’ leadership
Just thinking about all those "qualified" people who gave us the war in Viet Nam, the War in Iraq, 20 years too long (of failing) in Afghanistan, didn't care - or didn't have the spine - to give Americans what the citizens of every other advanced democracy have: universal health care, free college, paid maternity/paternity leave, free child care and a guaranteed livable wage.
I mean, they've done such a bang up job and all.
Over the last 48 years, $50 trillion has been transferred from the bottom 90 percent of Americans to the top one percent.
The idea that only those whose careers have been entrenched in a system that drove us into that ditch should possibly be considered "qualified" to lead us out of it is preposterous.
We don't need to respect such a system; we need to disrupt it.

And they were drafted, for God's sake. Had no choice but to be there....
