How Many Wars is America Fighting? (It's More Than You Think)
instead of strengthening ourselves and helping to build a world safe for diversity, we've chosen to build an empire, or something all to close. and if we continue the quest for dominance, the consequence will get even worse. and we will all be weaker for it. pursuing military dominance has generated unnecessary enemies. these enemies, in turn, have made dominance costlier and more dangerous. of all the times the united states has used armed force since 1946, roughly 80 percent of those interventions have taken place after 1991. that's right: the united states has used force more frequently after the cold war than during it, and it's not even close. despite the promise of "peace though strength," peace has not come. over decades, america has perfected the art of isolating itself from the wars it wages. on tv, wars play out like simple dramas: us versus them, with no blood and no casualties, unless they're inflicted by the enemy.

Sean Worsley, the 34-year-old disabled Iraqi War veteran and Purple Heart recipient who had been jailed in Alabama for felony cannabis possession, has been released from prison, Al.com reports. Last month Worsley had been granted parole.
DeleteWorsley had served 10 months in prison stemming from a 2016 cannabis arrest, despite Worsley obtaining it through Arizona’s medical cannabis program, where he is a patient. An Alabama circuit court judge sentenced him to five years in late September citing previous convictions and failure to comply with “any condition of bond or probation,” noting that Worsley had twice returned to Arizona when he had been previously released while awaiting his court dates.
“I’m overjoyed really, relieved,” Worsley told Al.com. “I’m still taking it all in.”
