Suggesting your fellow Americans are to blame for the evils of politicians and industry is naive at best, disingenuous at worst. Nobody asked my opinion on going to war, nobody asked the majority of the nation about war. The people have not been "consulted" on any war in my lifetime.

While that is reality, the propaganda says otherwise leading to the misunderstanding we see in Patricia's post, she is disgusted with the citizens who have zero say in war.
