Means or Ends?

This father is only criticizing the means--drones, bombs, or "boots on ground".  Why not criticize the ends as well?  Should the US be involved in any way militarily in Yemen?  If American lives are not worth risking, should the lives of Yemenis also not be put in the crosshairs, whether of an M-4, F-16, or Predator Drone?  May his son RIP and the US learn that the policy is also flawed, not just the process.

Down the Memory Hole?

Yet another book curiously not available at the local library.  Don't worry, we fellow Veterans for Peace will never forget.

Politics over Principles?

Or is the Democratic Party on the same team as the Republican one, and truly at its core the Unified Warmonger Party?  Its treatment of Congresswoman and fellow vet Tulsi Gabbard indicates ...
