Veteran Warns Against Potential Iran Conflict, Citing Historical Parallels to Iraq War
A recent video circulating online features Hal Donahue, a self-identified Vietnam veteran, who offers a critical perspective on past and potential future military conflicts. Donahue asserts that the 2003 invasion of Iraq was a deliberate "con" designed to divert public attention from the 9/11 attacks and to bolster the image of a then-weak president. He claims the invasion resulted in approximately 4,500 US military deaths and over 100,000 Iraqi casualties, arguing that military forces are ill-equipped to build peaceful societies. Drawing parallels to current geopolitical events, Donahue suggests that Israel's response to the October 7th incident mirrors the US approach after 9/11, leading to similar outcomes. He specifically warns against a potential conflict with Iran, positing that it could serve as a distraction for Donald Trump amidst domestic challenges, including a controversial military parade, widespread protests, and a looming economic recession. Donahue concludes his address by urging viewers to contact their congressional representatives to express opposition to any military engagement with Iran.
