We often take our freedom for granted without understanding how our Founding Fathers fought for our liberty from Britain.

Chris Hedges believes that war is negative and that it degrades the ones who participate in it. War changes the people that fight in it and just like a drug war becomes an addiction‚ once you get a taste of it is hard to stop.
