I find this sort of messaging so much better than insisting that the USA is somehow poor in aggregate.
In the richest city in the richest country on the planet, the thing we can’t afford is to forget those who are left hungry.

I do wonder what the nationwide cap for this is - are we talking 100,000 of us? Surely not even one million?

It basically seems like there’s a segment of the US military that is specifically designed around carrying out small scale but serious war crimes?

I don’t necessarily think every soldier in the chain of command should be prosecuted for attacking the boats, but yeah everyone in the chain of command involve in double tapping the boats should be imprisoned for life

The boat strikes are a war crime, pure and simple and they aren’t getting the deserved outrage because America has a military tradition of indiscriminately slaughtering brown people literally from its inception. For more recent examples note Hiroshima, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

I think the 1920s should be remembered less as “everyone had money and challenged Victorian morality” and more as “reactionaries ran the country and elites partied while
half the nation entered the Depression ahead of schedule.”
