This gets a repost because these numbers are infuriating: There are over 20,000 homeless families -- families -- and 35,000 children now sheltered in the city of New York, one of the richest in the world. If you too are now angry at this, maybe take a moment and do a small, decent thing with that:

Admiral Holsey is to this serial murder in the Caribbean as Hugh Thompson was to the butchery at My Lai --
that is to say a great American and a lone, solitary credit to its armed forces in a moment when a great and unremovable stain was put upon the honor of the entire American military.
Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.
