Chimps with Nukes

by Jim Morris

Overview

In this compelling article, originally published by the San Diego Reader in the onset of the Iraq War, Jim Morris, a Vietnam Veteran, points out that the individuals making war decisions are often not the ones carrying them out. With the realization that only one Congressman's son served during the Vietnam War, Morris explains that, "The people will lose faith in a leadership that expends their sons and daughters like used Kleenex, but sends its own to Harvard and Yale."
