hey guys! ravanna, I don't know if you picked a president yet, but here are some---
okay, first off, is bush.
George W. Bush: For invading Iraq under false pretenses (“Weapons of Mass Destruction”), resulting in the deaths of thousands of U.S. soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens.
Franklin Roosevelt: For the imprisonment of over 100,000 Japanese American citizens for the crime of looking Asian.
President Jackson: engineered the vicious and imperial "Indian Removal Act." Despite its language suggesting a voluntary and fair "exchange" of lands, the act opened the door for the militias of Appalachia and southern states to drive the Indians, like cattle, from their land by force.
harry truman: After the defeat of Germany in WW2, Harry Truman travelled to meet Stalin and Churchill at the Potsdam conference. Here he boasted to Stalin that the US was about to use a new destructive weapon against the Japanese. When Truman ordered the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, he killed approximately 250,000 people, 90% of whom were civilians. Many took months or years to die from radiation sickness and cancer
Japan was willing to surrender to the United States in July of 1945 with one condition, that the Japanese Emperor Hirohito not be tried as a war criminal. The truth was that Japan was virtually helpless by this time, its military in a shambles, its cities bombed, and its people starving. Truman ignored the offer, and in August ordered the bombs dropped. Since the U.S. ultimately granted that condition anyway, the dropping of the bombs was unnecessary, and the horrific death and destruction that resulted was also unnecessary.
Andrew Johnson: so, I read through about him, and basically he is a fervent racist, and pre-Civil War slave owner. he believed in the inferiority of African Americans, and he said in a letter, “This is a country for white men, and by God, as long as I am President, it shall be a government for white men" and “…wherever they [black people] have been left to their own devices they have shown a constant tendency to relapse into barbarism.”
evil, right? these are just some presidents though. I can find lots more, these are not even the worst of them.

I don't see a problem with Donald Trump. Anyways I don't want to talk politics. IG you guys do I will just stay out of it.
Anyways I had a pretty great day. I have to finish my essay about JROTC and how it has been around for 100 years and its 100 anniversary is coming up so that was the prompt for this years JROTC essay. I learned some stage combat in theater and it turns put me and my partner are amazing at it. We normally conquer all the assignments we get and we get a lot of reactions during our performances. I talked and joked around with the foreign exchange students there who I am becoming fast friends with most. Though most of them are guys but I always got along better with guys. Not much else has happened. I think I am gonna drop band but I have no clue......

That sounds awesome Smiley! I've never talked with a foreign exchange student. But then again I live in a small town so I don't talk to tons of people outside of well, where I live. lol.
With the band thing, if your not feeling it then dropping it might be a good thing for you. Or is it the teacher?
