Top political cartoonist Ted Rall presents a searing indictment of the forgotten victims of American military might.
President Donald Trump’s grandiose vision for the 2019 Fourth of July celebration in Washington, DC, included tanks and other armored vehicles, as well as a flyover by military jets, in what the president ordered would be a “Salute to America.”
