Join Iraq War veteran and director of New Hampshire Peace action, Will Hopkins, on the fourth of July weekend to take a look at how the myth of American Exceptionalism protects American warmaking from critical eyes, and how a system has been built to make criticism of forever wars a social taboo. Hopkins will discuss his own experience in Iraq, and talk about how he sees patriotism weaponized to ensure American warmaking is unobstructed by a public fully awakened to the morality and human and financial costs of our government’s application of violence against brown skinned people at home and abroad.
