Was it all in vain?

Seems ironic that on this Veterans Day, when I think of my two fathers (biological & adopted) who both served actively in WWII in the South Pacific, that i’m asking myself, was it all in vain?

Those many years ago, the country, somewhat reluctantly, fought to soundly defeat a fascist Nazi takeover in Europe. Perhaps had we not entered that war, the takeover would have succeeded and eventually bled into the U.S. where the seeds had already been planted.

Now, almost 80 years later, the American electorate, willingly elected, in a free & fair election (nonviolent war), a fascist Nazi to lead these United States and have given him unprecedented control over every branch of government.

That war, those many years ago, which we won with massive blood and treasure investment, bought us 80 years of democracy without the disruption of fascist involvement in our U.S. government.

Had we not entered that war so long ago, and faced the possible fascist takeover at that time, we would have had these 80 years to figure out how to respond and regain our democratic roots.

Now we must begin anew…
