Lee Camp, Truth Dig: Trump’s Military Drops a Bomb Every 12 Minutes, and No One Is Talking About It

We live in a state of perpetual war, and we never feel it. While you get your gelato at the hip place where they put those cute little mint leaves on the side, someone is being bombed in your name. While you argue with the 17-year-old at the movie theater who gave you a small popcorn when you paid for a large, someone is being obliterated in your name. While we sleep and eat and make love and shield our eyes on a sunny day, someone’s home, family, life and body are being blown into a thousand pieces in our names.

Once every 12 minutes.

You bomb and kill the enemy until they are too few to resist and the survivors have no will to resist.


The Germans had the concepts of Zero hour. They surrendered. The Taliban do not, because aside from a few drone attacks in Pakistan, they have a safe base.

There was a road not taken from January 2009 to January 2016. That is to do more than dilettante fighting. Obama laagered.


Nuff said.
