“Far beyond our poor power to add or detract …”

A Memorial Day sadder than many in my half century of remembrance. The last time there was this much senseless slaughter of U.S. soldiers going on it was my peer group who were the targets. The peers whose names appear on the wall in Washington.

Today the war criminals in the White House are ordering more soldiers to their deaths while they pretend to lament the loss and claim to “honor” the heroes.

There is only one way to honor those people serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and 750 other bases dotted around the globe as part of the modern, militaristic American empire: Bring them home.

And listen to Keith Olbermann’s dead-on commentary.
