Reflecting on the start of the Iraq War 20 years later. I cannot overstate how appallingly one-sided the news coverage was in the US during the buildup to the invasion.
@jensorensen The number of military members and civilians who were killed and incurably injured (physical and mental), but that harm was never truly felt because "support our troops". (I was involved in coordinating deployments to Afghanistan at my base, and was a true believer at the time. Many years later I realized just how much damage I was involved with.)
