What do you do when you are confronted with proof that your country engaged in unspeakable war crimes and atrocities as it tried to hold on to a crumbling colonial empire?
I'm guessing that denial and blaming those who uncovered the crimes will be the order of the day. Just like it is here. and elsewhere. The Turks deny the Armenian genocide. Have the Belgiums ever confronted that King Leopold II was "the butcher of Africa" for killing a tenth of the population of the entire continent?
Just close your eyes and whistle a jaunty tune as you walk past those piles of moldering corpses. It's what humans are good at.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
An excellent read, glad you brought it to a wider audience. Consider the files that are surely somewhere around the State Department too, dealing with U.S. Interventions in Central and South America...will they be destroyed now, or have people forgotten about them? Or better, imagine tRump's files...
