War, what the hell is it good for?

We lost in Vietnam, but what changed. Did we lose what we were told we would?

We won in Iraq, but what changed. We can barely cross borders in the US, without an ID check. Been to the airport? Do you feel as though you won the war. All the enemy is dead, yet do we have a better life freer, or even, just as free?

That little mouse roared, and we have shackled ourselves to absolutely nothing.
