He claims that we are no longer fighting for freedom because Saddam has been caught! Does this man pay attention to the news? We are not occupying the Middle East to merely throw our weight around…. I am a member of the United States Army….” Jacob Hornberger: “….The real truth, which Bass and so many other American ...

Preface to The Failure of America’s Foreign Wars

by
The following is the preface to The Failure of America’s Foreign Wars, published by The Future of Freedom Foundation in 1996.

Except for allowing slavery, government’s role was primarily limited to protecting people from ...
