been a time when America was a land of at least some brave people.
a nation that celebrates as heroic a history
of people with modern guns and cannons conquering and destroying another people
living in the stone age and fighting back with bows and arrows,
that built its economy on the backs of men and women held in chains certainly has a tough case to make
What is clear though is that there is nothing brave about modern-day America.
we have degenerated into a nation that finds glory in deploying the most advanced high-tech, high-explosive weaponry against some of the world's poorest people
that justifies killing women and children, even by the dozens, if by doing so it manages to kill one alleged "enemy" fighter
The Marines who battled their way up the hillsides of Iwo Jima, or the soldiers who struggled ashore under withering fire on the beaches of Normandy would be appalled at what passes for heroic behavior in today's American military. But that's not the worst of it.
