To drive home the reality about fighting troops on the ground...

This 1971 Song by Eric Bogle vividly tells what the aftermath of America invading Iran or any country for that matter WILL be.
It's about the Australians coming home after an unbelievably disastrous campaign in 1915 at Gallipoli. The "allied" forces lost over 220,000 of 500,000 who were SENT to war.
So trump sends our children to war. They won't all make it unscathed...and being dead may be better for many. And if yours is ok, that's great, but this is someone else's reality...just not the reality of those who decide for you or your children. Remember that before it's too late.
Try to watch this and imagine those coming back are your sons, daughters, relative, friends or even a father.
And we're doing this for absolutely no fucking reason other than to make rich people already richer and power hungry people satisfied.
This is what the Republican Politicians in America can stop...but won't. They don't care about you or yours so long as they get what they want.
