Please, we need to stop these endless wars. Why is it people are voting for TRUMP of all people because they want our troops pulled out of Iraq (17 years), Afghanistan (19 years), and Syria (6 years). How is antiwar/anti-occupation a TRUMP thing and not a liberal/progressive tentpole issue?

Why does the military industrial complex together with intelligence agencies fabricate lies to keep us embroiled forever in these evil endless wars? Every time we try and pull out there's a new BS story from these groups that everyone laps up: "Bounties on US soldiers! War is good! War is peace! War forever!"

Americans are really bad at remembering what just happened. Every war we've fought in the last 150 years, except perhaps WWII (i.e., there were lies but we probably did have to fight), we entered based on complete lies. Yet, we keep starting wars. I think our forgetfulness is not some contingent detail, but a core driver of the American war machine, which grinds up brown people to create money for armaments manufacturers and their puppets in government and news media. We forget because we must. If we remembered, the machine would grind to a halt.
