Remembering America’s First (& Longest) Forgotten War on Islamists
Danny Sjursen finds America’s Moro War – which included misleading accounts of progress by military commanders — grimly familiar in the context of today’s Afghan War.
{One vet wrote of his reception at home that, “instead of glad hands, people stare at a khaki-clad man as though he had escaped from the zoo.” The relatively low (American) casualties in the war contributed to public apathy. In the years 1909 and 1910, just eight regular Army soldiers were killed, analogous to the mere 32 troopers killed in 2016-2017 in Afghanistan. This was just enough danger to make a tour of duty in Moroland, as in Afghanistan today, terrifying, but not enough to garner serious national attention or widespread war opposition.}
In other words. While the 2400 killed before hand are now out of mind, society remains ignorant to the few still killed within the deceit. As their families still believe they made the ultimate sacrifice for their beloved country to install freedom and democracy. No one can stand up and voice opposition to the truth if they don't hear of it or seek it.
Today with "apathy" is how many see the veteran homeless and mentally wounded as that war is out of mind. And the people who sent them to that war attempt to hide them and deny them healthcare in many regards.
