As a lifelong democratic socialist I continue to be amazed how contemptuous of American soldiers as HUMAN BEINGS are the military industrial complex and forever PROFIT FIRST Corporate America. Our Memorial Days actually seem to honor WAR not the hapless veterans . Yet the stupid mainstream news media imagines that young working class CHRISTIANS in the United States can be easily recruited for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia. Bring " OUR democracy " to drive out Russia from the Ukraine ? After Vietnam, Afghanistan , Iraq " WE WON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN " ??? The GOOD WAR - World War II- was won only with a horrendous crime against humanity : the atomic bombing of two Japanese ( some racism here ? ) cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. The American ruling class has no moral authority to denounce Russian war crimes in Ukraine .
