War

Most people are not old enough to remember 1970 but for those who do there is an eerie resemblance to what is going on today. In 1970 the Vietnam War was in its fifth year and a certain uneasiness had crept into the daily lives of the people. They began to ask themselves questions like what are we doing, are we sure of the purpose of being in Southeast Asia. The government had said it was necessary and the people went along under the assumption that those in power knew something the rest didn't and now citizens were asking what did they know. This is where many people are today as they ask themselves what is going on in Ukraine. Are we getting the information we need. Is the government being open and honest with us or are they lying just as they did in Vietnam. Up to this point the people have remained silent in their doubts but rest assured the first time the suggestion to send troops comes up there will be many who will demand more information. What does it mean when the president says as long as it takes. Takes to do what. Regime change in Russia. Victory in Ukraine. What does victory look like and what happens next.
