Actually, not poppycock but a rather insightful and well-informed essay with historical hindsight at 20/20. American soldiers have brutalized the helpless for fun or other nefarious purposes in almost every major conflict since (and including) the Revolution. We have murdered and tortured numerous times in numerous conflicts. If we ignore past mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them. It looks like In These Times is still being trolled by right-wing reactionaries trying to stir the pot instead of educate. ANYTHING to protect the Republicans, right boys?

I don't want to segregate Americans at all. I actually think we need more unification and dialogue such as that provided by this website. I'm not trying to call anyone names when people marginalize themselves. I actually agree with you about not having learned from our mistakes & candidates not showing that we will. I'm not defending or advocating for any particular candidate or party, but it sounded like you were. I truly do believe in historical hindsight, but strongly doubt our leaders do. It seems to me that brutality is the order of the day for how things are done …
