Afghanistan

 This will probably be short. I had lots more. But us old folks can lose track of things. And our news media can lie to us. (And our Canadian Legion can lie to us.)

The Afghanistan war has not been well reported to Canadians. Our news media have told us next to nothing. We know that 149 Canadian soldiers were killed but, strangely, the Legion has never told us how many of our soldiers  have been traumatized.

The U.S. media have the figures for Americans - and the have published them. And the U.S. media have published about those with permanent mental damage  amounting to thousands.

159 Canadians were killed in Afghanistan. But a larger, much larger number were broken and traumatized with severe emotional damage. Thousands of those soldiers can never recover their sanity. Many live in the isolation of basements. There are uncounted suicides. Large numbers suffer from post traumatic stress disorder.

And the Legion is keeping us in ignorance - and is pretty much ignoring it's own members.

Well, the Canadian Legion is, I suppose. pretty much just a place to go and drink beer.

Now you can know. The Legion is the least caring institution for those we send to war. I've had no trouble getting information on American behaviour. But we've been told nothing about our soldiers.

Well, that ends here. We Canadians have a total of fifteen years in Afghanistan.

And the Legion damn well knows how many died and how many wounded forever.

Why did they die? I guess that was so Trudeau can build pipelines in BC, a province already in flames.  And they died so that American president Biden could dig up  poisonous food supplies for Americans. Oh, that is also creating disastrous water shortages in the U.S.

Oh, and we've been terribly busy in sending the homeless - including children and the elderly - to die on our sidewalks - just like Americans. Well, it's important to give big money to our super rich - you know, so they won't have to pay taxes.

Yep. And it's nice to see the catholic church saving money for murdering indigenous children in its schools.

And on a note that fits right in to what we have become, the American super rich have, since 1978, increased earnings by 1322 percent (probably more as I write this.) We're back by a thousand years.

They want us in poverty.
