I just hope some fine folks will put their ideological views aside for a few moments and see what these war criminals are doing to the peoples of the world. Since the ‘Nam, which was on TV every night in all its horror along with dinner and erudite commentary from Huntley&Brinkley, war has been sanitized and made into G-rated fare suitable for children of all ages. No one is exposed to war’s horrors so they go along with the crowd and cheer on the immoral actions by Empire using “the most powerful military in the world”. And then show misled soldiers that died fighting for “freedom and democracy’; one of the biggest lies perpetrated on Americans. Televise live every time a plane brings home boxes of the dead. televise numbers of civilian men, women and children killed by US made weaponry. Go ahead let the taxpayers see what their hard earned tax dollars are spent on: murdering women and children.

A bus full of children gets obliterated and all folks do is to continue to find distractions such as posting selfies or playing violent video games because if they stopped to think about the ‘real’ they'd lose their fucking minds. Ignorance is bliss as ‘they say’. I say televise the atrocities in all their repugnant gore. I saw a photo of the remains of the school bus and it sickened me. Show these photos on the 24/7 cable news shows. Show these photos on network nightly news shows. Maybe then folks would see these immoral criminals for what they really are. Peace, The Ol’ Hippy John Allen
