Criminal Casualties

Trillions of dollars are poured into war We're still unsure of what we fight for Aging rich men do declare From the comfort of an armchair There is not enough despair Let more bombs fly in the air Yet how could the rest of us just obey Like it's ok, we're the USA We stay in a blood-lust state Few others cooperate We had our time and they declined Perhaps due to peace of mind Let's end the slaughter of our sons and daughters Who get short-handed while the elite make bank For PTSD, we have them to thank And justice?

Bowe Bergdahl.  Englehardt depicts Bergdahl as disillusioned with the war in Afghanistan.  One way this is expressed is through emails home where Bergdahl writes "The U.S. army is the biggest joke the world has to laugh at.  It is the army of liars, backstabbers, fools, and bullies. The few good SGTs [sergeants] are getting out as soon as they can, and they are telling us privates to do the same....I am sorry for everything here. These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid, that they have no idea how to live." Englehardt also keenly states " Think whatever you want about war and American war-making, but keep in mind that we are inside an enormous propaganda machine o
