The state department is supposed to be working for peace
This is EXACTLY what happened in Viet Nam. “Bringing the troops home” is not enough to fundamentally disrupt the consciousness that produced whatever war just ended & which inevitably produces the next one. We need a new conversation & a US Dept. of Peace.https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/investigations/afghanistan-papers/afghanistan-war-confidential-documents/ …

Yes, it is. But look at the numbers. $760B for Defense, $40B for State. And peacebuilding agencies, diplomatic efforts within State Dept. shriveling. Also, Dept. of Peace includes domestic issues as well. They’re connected.

The problem is that the system has already been taken over by greedy squabbling oligarchic interests & no central power has the ability to apply the brakes. I hope Bernie can change things but the US is running out of time.

“We were devoid of a fundamental understanding of Afghanistan — we didn’t know what we were doing,” Douglas Lute, a three-star Army general who served as the White House’s Afghan war czar during the Bush and Obama administrations, told government interviewers in 2015.”

The word “we” is the problem. It’s not the public who takes us to war. It’s not even congress directly- though they approve the NDAA-it’s these sellout tools. Lennon called them (useful idiots) & the Military Industrial complex. Almost a benign organism of capitalism.
