Since Vietnam, we have spent at least another $17 trillion on war - TopicsExpress



          

Since Vietnam, we have spent at least another $17 trillion on war and preparations for war - our entire national debt - and killed millions more of our fellow human beings. Watching General Giaps funeral in Hanoi as I write this today, I have to ask, What have we learned? Our generals have learned how to wage war in other countries with fewer American casualties by using disproportionate violence that kills more civilians than combatants. This has made war less painful for Americans, but it only underlines its futility and barbarism. No American general of this generation will be buried with the outpouring of genuine public gratitude and grief we just saw in Hanoi.
