The Shocking Truth: How the US Military Weaponized Feminism to Justify 20 Years of War

For two decades, the US military spent $8 trillion and caused nearly a million deaths in the Middle East. But the public was sold a different story: one of liberation, women's rights, and humanitarian rescue. In her groundbreaking book *At War with Women*, Jennifer Greenburg reveals how the military co-opted feminist language, turning female soldiers into emotional labor tools and local women into propaganda props. From night raids where women were deployed to 'calm' terrified families, to the construction of abandoned markets that flooded homes, this is the hidden machinery of 'imperial feminism.' Watch to uncover how the system uses progress to mask violence—and why the same tactics are still active in 85 countries today.
