Remind me to save these videos for next year for when anyone asks me about why Labor day is a thing.

this was a story I wish was covered in school..I mean bringing in airstrikes on American soil against American citizens is a situation we need to know about and be willing to prevent. In a similar vein, the Battle of Athens would be a good one to cover. another situation where democracy failed leaving the people with no choice but to fight.

I had never heard about this until Rob brought it up. I was shocked to hear military air strikes and gas were used. The episode straight made me sick to my stomach thinking about it but I'm really glad we were able to cover it and bring awareness.
