Veterans Day: MFSO Total Cost of War Campaign
Yesterday, I posted that Veterans for Peace (VFP) has announced plans to launch their How is the War Economy Working for YOU? campaign to educate the public and U.S. electorate on how simple it is to connect the dots between billions wasted on the wars in Iraq/Af-Pac AND the U.S. economic meltdown, high unemployment except for those employed by the Defense Industry, Defense Department, and Soldier of Fortune Corporations right here in the good ole U.S. of A.
Also in time for Veterans Day, the 4000 plus members of Military Families Speak Out (MFSO) have decided to join VFP in this educational effort which will be taken across America instead of focusing on Washington, DC – the place everyone goes to protest everything.
However, as VFP calls their campaign – How is the War Economy Working for YOU? We are MFSO call our campaign The True Costs of War, regardless readers will note the similarities and standardization with the VFP effort.
