war stress thinking
People realize that we're very good at sending people to war, but we're not good at taking care of them.

If you look at the average number of people killed per conflict per year, it goes from 37-thousand in 1950 to just 600 in 2002.

Killing American kids so Halliburton can make money is not a righteous reason to go to war. Anthony Kiedis
