   I'm so proud to be an American today :-(

      Then do something about it - inform yourself about the other days.

      The USA has been dropping bombs on innocent people on average for the past 25 years every 15 minutes.

      The only force capable of reining in the US’ out of control military industrial complex, is the American people themselves. Until they do, the atrocities continue unabated.

         I can't even get the government to take masked federal agents off my streets, how the hell am I going to rein (not reign) in the military industrial complex?

            Indeed, it may be too late for you to do anything effective about it.

            What the war criminals that have run your country for decades have done to other nations, they are now going to do to yours.

            Protest, inform yourself, demand that your peers are informed, and do not for one instance just let apathy rule. Get out there on the streets every single time, write your representatives, use whatever tepid remains of your ‘democracy’ you have left. Divest yourself of any investments in the military industrial complex - and be damned sure you don’t support it, in any way whatsoever.

            Demand justice for your own war criminals at a higher pitch and tempo than the call to eradicate cultures deemed inferior by those very war criminals.

            What they do to other nations they will do to yours. Never forget this.
