Anti-war poster

I don't support these wars. They are an embarrassment to our country, and they are unforgivable offenses committed by an oligarchy of privileged liars. That reality aside, I believe most the young men and women in Irag and Afghanistan are doing their best with the clusterfuck they've been handed. Without any clear exit strategy, many of them are simply trying to stay alive long enough to see their families again.

I created this piece because this is how I see war. The powerful few have always, will always, feel free to throw the lower classes into the meat grinder to build their own wealth and jurisdiction. It angers me to no end when that selfishness is shrouded in an illusion of patriotism. Unfortunately, many young people buy in completely, offering their lives and limbs for nothing. Senseless.
