We are creating multiple generations of people that will hate us, and seek to do us harm. That’s not on them, that’s on us. We started the war under false pretenses, we invaded two countries that had nothing to do with 9/11, and now were killing people at weddings, killing children, and untold other innocents with drones. We are the terrorist to the people of Iraq & Afghanistan, and if they did the same to us we’d wipe them off the face of the planet. We are the schoolyard bullies X 1,000. All in the name of oil, and if you believe that it’s for any other reason, you’re deluding yourselves.

You can’t sanitize war. It’s dirty, it’s bloody and people die. American’s don’t die, but when drones are deployed civilians die. We kill innocents. It’s like any other bomb. As a nation, we need to reconsider using these robot killers. We would never deliberately kill children, but by using these things we do just that.

It is long past time to reevaluate this war, in terms of life, finances, and mostly morality. We as a nation are sanctioning the murder of children. This is unconscionable. I love my country, but I hate this war. Please. We need to stop this!


Thank you for your time and attention,
