Ron Paul: President Trump: Toss Your General's War Escalation Plans in the Trash

Ron Paul: President Trump:  Toss Your General's War Escalation Plans in the Trash - lewrockwell.com

Excerpt from this article:

"By the end of this month, Defense Secretary James Mattis and National Security Advisor HR McMaster will deliver to President Trump their plans for military escalations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. President Trump would be wise to rip the plans up and send his national security team back to the drawing board – or replace them. There is no way another “surge” in Afghanistan and Iraq (plus a new one in Syria) puts America first. There is no way doing the same thing over again will succeed any better than it did the last time."

I was in my mid teens when the pop group Paper Lace came out with Billy Don't Be A Hero (Don't Be a Fool With Your Life). I remember my mother saying she thought it was a horrible song that encouraged people to dodge the draft.

Well, my mom went home to be with her Lord many years ago, but I would guess if she had read the following books, articles and blog posts, she would not have been so gung-ho about America's involvement in Vietnam (or Korea!). In fact, she may have even attended Woodstock in 1968 to hear Country Joe sing his What Are We Fightin For?
