***** W A R *****

Chris Hedges is one of my favorite authors. This piece titled "Kneeling in Fenway Park to the Gods of War" knocks it OUT OF THE PARK ! ! !http://www.commondreams.org/views/2014/07/08/kneeling-fenway-park-gods-war

"War is not a sport. It is about killing. It is dirty, mess and deeply demoralizing.  It brings with it trauma, lifelong wounds, loss and feelings of shame and guilt.  It leaves bleeding or dead bodies on its fields. The pay is lousy.  The working conditions are horrific.  And those who come back from war are USUALLY DISCARDED.''
