46 - White Feathers & Pink Women

The white feather girls used to shame random men on the street to sign up for military service. They would come up to any man in civilian clothing that was of the right age to enlist and they would pin a white feather of cowardice to his chest to signify that he wasn't doing his part. On the other hand the "Code Pink Women" are a self described social justice movement working to end US funded Wars and occupations in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. As far as I can see the white feather girls were just a temporary fad but the "Code Pink: Women for Peace." seems to be a social justice movement created to help get America away from foreign entanglements with enemies. And the Code Pink Women were created by mothers and wives of soldiers to prevent them from going to war and coming back in body bags. CCRoxtar seems to think that the reason code pink was created so that women would have husbands and male children to take care of them in their old age. While that is certainly a part of the argument, the issue goes a lot deeper. I was born five years after the Vietnam war ended and many of you listening to this video have little or no recollection of the Vietnam war. And if you do remember it then you remember how terrible it was for the United States. Tens of thousands of US soldiers coming back in body bags and losing their lives limbs and futures due to post traumatic stress disorders. Code Pink Women could see the Iraq war dragging out the same way and potentially tens of thousands of US Soldiers dying while they fought Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda. And of course they don't want their men coming back unable to help support the family. During the Vietnam was a family could subside on the income of a single parent. Today that's impossible with the price of food, energy and houses.
