Men… So often blamed for everything bad, for everybody, everywhere, and for all of time. It is the tiresome, everlasting, and all too familiar rebuke, thrown back whenever you ask for any kind of compassion for men and boys. “Who built the system?” “Who wrote the laws?” “Who runs the world?” Round and round we go, the same low resolution, cartoonish retort, belched out by a million nit wits, masquerading as “progressives”. So too you shall hear it if you ever talk about the countless, tens of millions of men killed or injured in war during the last 100 years. The men who laid down their lives, in unimaginable ways, so you and I can share these words right now. Surely they deserve compassion? “WHO STARTED THE WARS?” It appears not. Well – Ignoring the fact that the men in the trenches, who are dying by the millions, and those recklessly pulling the levers of power, are *different men* – is it true? Is it true that men “started all the wars”? Or is the truth a little more complex, and grown up, as it always is, than the soundbite presents? What do you think? ~ Queens Paper https://tinyurl.com/yck4cex7 Support for Iraq and Afghanistan https://tinyurl.com/5apb3juw Gallup support for war https://tinyurl.com/yc37uk4w
