Maybe there's something
the anti-war people
are missing
because even as technology upgrades
to do the dirty work
of more and more troops
on the ground
even as information
we can know
about a country
is so up-to-the-minute
minutely small
that we miss
the blurry big picture
even as the old guard
rightly becomes
more accommodating
to historically ignored
or shunned demographics
they still find reasons
to protest it.
