The Iraq War Itself Was a Crime
November 27, 2018
A decorated Navy Seal has been accused of war crimes. You can read the details here. I don’t know whether he is guilty of what the government says he did, but if he is, he was trained mentally and physically by the government to do it. Something more important that is never discussed is the nature of the Iraq War itself. The Iraq War itself was a crime of epic proportions, as I maintained for years. All Navy Seals who went to Iraq are war criminals.
