All Wars are Based on Lies

The War on “Terror.” I challenge anyone to justify the wars the US has been in after viewing these statistics. These statistics have been twisted and manipulated to the public to present these wars as just by multiple administrations. The media will not show you the cold hard facts and truths. Our Veterans are suffering based on lies. Every American, every human being should be outraged. To blame one party would be the definition of naive. The political allies of the USA are just as responsible for being accessories to the lies. Is it worth losing thousands of Americans in wars of aggression to potentially save 1 or 2 dozen American Citizens from terrorist attacks worldwide every year? You decide based on the facts.
