I have learned more about history since leaving school, which begs the question, what exactly did I learn in school? Having two boys in Marine Corps bootcamp right now and seeing the news, it's all I can do not to live in fear for what sacrifices they may have to make. War has always been a profitable endeavor and history is written by the winners. And we, the people... Well, I don't know about you all, but I want to live in peace without feeling like the government's got their hand in my pocketbook.
Or around my throat.
