JJM's "Explorations On War"

He contends that the public’s persistent refusal to confront the true nature of U.S. foreign policy, combined with a willful maintenance of mythologies around American exceptionalism and freedom, produces moral blindness and complicity in crimes committed abroad. For Griobhtha, this is not a matter of abstract guilt; it is a lived reality etched into the bodies and minds of those who fight these wars, and into the society that perpetuates, funds, and fails to question them.
