| summary | Caitlin Johnstone’s article argues against the framing of US soldiers killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as heroes. She contends that this narrative is a deliberate tactic used to justify endless military interventions and maintain public support for the wars. Johnstone highlights the fact that these soldiers were often deployed to unjust and unwinnable conflicts, resulting in preventable deaths and significant psychological trauma. She criticizes the media’s tendency to sanitize and glorify war deaths, focusing on individual stories rather than examining the systemic issues that led to the conflicts and the lack of accountability for those in power. Ultimately, she asserts that honoring these soldiers should involve acknowledging the flaws and failures of the policies that led to their deaths, not perpetuating a false image of heroism. |
