Did Trump avoid Cemetery, dishonor Troops, b/c Rain would Muss his Hair (more)?
by Francis CURTA and Clare BYRNE Paris (AFP) – US President Donald Trump came under fire on Saturday after cancelling a visit to an American World War I military cemetery in France because of rainy weather. Trump, who is in France for commemorations marking the centenary of the end of the war, and his wife […]
Spicer: Trump can Criticize Iraq War but no one can Slam Trump’s Yemen Raid
By Juan Cole | (Informed Comment) – – One-man fake news channel Sean Spicer, Trump’s spokesman, said Wednesday that anyone who criticized the botched raid on Yakla in Yemen that killed innocent children and other noncombatants and left a Navy Seal dead “owes an apology” to the deceased sailor. This assertion is perhaps the most […]
Rethinking The Cost of War
By Mike Hixenbaugh for The Virginian-Pilot, and Charles Ornstein, ProPublica | – – There are many ways to measure the cost of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War: In bombs (7 million tons), in dollars ($760 billion in today’s dollars) and in bodies (58,220).

They’ve served this country proudly – shouldering the responsibilities of […]
The Iraq War isn’t Over; it is waged here, in our Hospitals every Day
By Mark Wilkerson | ( Tomdispatch.com ) | – – Memorial Day is over. You had your barbeque. Now, you can stop thinking about America’s wars and the casualties from them for another year. As for me, I only wish it were so. It’s been Memorial Day for me ever since I first met Tomas […]
Trump must honor the Immigrant & Undocumented Veterans of American Foreign Wars
By Juan Cole | (Informed Comment) | – – Donald Trump, the ultimate chickenhawk, pretends to be a big booster of veterans, but as far as I can tell he’s never done anything in particular for them. Worse, Trump has been deeply offensive toward a significant group of vets– immigrants and the undocumented. In 2009, […]
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, PTSD and the Psychology of War
By Arnold Oliver | (Informed Comment) | – – More than five years ago a soldier named Bowe Bergdahl left his U.S. Army unit in Afghanistan. He was captured, imprisoned in brutal conditions for five years, and finally released in a prisoner exchange in 2014. The Army is now considering whether he should be court-martialed […]
