War

Libya is in chaos, and the US ambassador and three other American officials have been murdered. Aren't you glad our government removed Gaddafi?

This article focuses on a clinic that treats female soldiers instead of pointing how how damaging its been to put them in the military.
"The growing need is staggering; one out of every five female vets from Iraq or Afghanistan are diagnosed with PTSD.One in five female VA patients also say they were sexually assaulted or sexually harassed during their time in service."
That is staggering. It's terrible. It's a unequivocal sign of a failed policy that should end.
"Those women will get care for it all in the new clinic."
Like we should be thankful the government is taking care of these women instead of lambasting it for harming them like this.

From the government turns everything upside down department:
"As President Karzai indicated, one of the most vexing difficulties is that---unlike America---the Afghan constitutional system has no provisions allowing the indefinite detention of prisoners without trial or charges.  Efforts are being made to clear this roadblock."
Who's the barbarian now?
