Dying to protect.

Editor,

If the USA had any friends, it would have ample opportunity to infiltrate terrorist groups, learn their plans, and prevent attacks.

But friendless, armed with horribly destructive devices and legions of killers, it sends drones to kill, killers to kill, and kills and kills and kills.

Such a murderous posture relative to poverty at home, mass incarceration, dwindling affordable housing, mass unemployment, failing schools, economic inequality, terrible health, polluted environment, and poisonous diet makes one wonder what all these grandmothers, old men, children, and teenagers are dying to protect.
