There is nothing more honourable than people trying to right the wrongs of their nation. These are the people who stand up free of false nationalism, and do the right thing. They make a difference. I applaud these American women for doing the right thing. The power of America is in a free people, sadly this freedom has been and is being eroded further over time. If activities like this could grow, both practically and politically, then the US can be pushed in the right direction, by its people, a direction that aligns with its declared values rather that its real contempory destitute actual values. So power to the American people, bring back your dream with your own hands and end the nightmare both for yourselves and your resource slave colonies. Lobby yourselves!
