This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Just give a brief sentence of your views on each of these issues. I'm not looking for sage-like wisdom; even if you're completely ignorant, I'd like to know what your nonetheless ignorant views are on the matter.

Vietnam War:

Iraq War:

Inflation vs. Unemployment (which is the most important thing to target?):
Spoiler

European Union:

Punishment vs Rehabilitation:

Drug legalisation:

Tax:

Pensions/Social security:

These are all that come to mind, for the time being.

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
Vietnam War:
Justified if it meant stopping the spread of Communism, which it did, despite the death toll.

Iraq War:
Deposed a malicious dictator and discovered WMDs in the process. Can't see how it wouldn't be justified, although the reasons provided were a bit tenuous.

Inflation.

EU:
Not really bothered one way or the other. Don't think it impacts us a tremendous amount as much as Eurosceptics make out to be, and vice versa for proponents of the EU.

Rehabilitation. Punishment on aggregate doesn't work as an effective deterrent of crime.

For legalising marijuana and majority of the psychoactive drugs. Not so hot about legalizing opioids, as I'd actually argue something that fiendishly addictive eliminates any kind of choice involved. The drug ends up controlling you, not the other way around. But I'm willing entertain an argument as to why it should be accessible to the general public.

Tax:
Cut down really. It's the only way we're ever gonna see a crack down on unemployment and poverty.

Pensions:
State pensions worked back in the days were you were lucky enough to live past 50. Horribly inefficient now. If you want a pension you should earn it.

Banks:
Government needs to back the fuck off. I don't want to hear about another bailout again.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
'Nam: Containment is justifiable, the way the war was handled is not.

Iraq: We found WMD's, and OEF has really crippled the capabilities of major terror networks to make a noteworthy stateside attack.

Unemployment.

EU: Good for them, I guess. Does it really affect me much over here?

Rehabilitation  for most. Institutionalizing people is kind of a bad thing, but there are some people who really can't or don't want to be helped

Drugs: I can't agree with legalizing anything that's chemically/physically addicting. It just seems like a bad idea to endorse such a thing. Decriminalization of a lot of substances would be better.

Tax: Property taxes need to go. Other than that, I don't exactly like loosing approximately 30c on the dollar to the feds and state in income tax, (especially since our roads are fucking ass anyway. Come the fuck on, PenDOT) but, it's not that bad...

Pension: Private retirement funds are the future. State pensions and soc. security are a horrible drain on government budgets.

Banks: I don't know enough to really have a worthwhile opinion here.

Did it? They still fell to communism and I think the domino effect was a huge paranoia thing.

I love you, son.
Vietnam and Iraq War: Not educated enough on the topics to have an opinion.
Unemployment is more important.
EU needs a big ass reform.
Rehabilitation should be favoured over punishment. Of course there are people who are beyond rehabilitating, though.
Drugs should be legalized, but with regulations.
Inheritance tax is complete shit and should be abolished.
Eh not sure about pensions. Leaning more towards private.
Banks: Not a scooby.

Social security is theft.
