When I first joined the Navy I was a pretty angry guy. I was any recuiter's dream come true. Young, healthy, poor, confused... the next thing I knew I was in boot camp. The Navy generally suited me just fine and I did pretty well in my brief career. On my last home-cycle I bought a small camper and parked it on the beach. Sitting there with my dog staring out at the ocean I realized I could no longer rationalize supporting the present administration and felt that in order to respect myself I needed to end my military service. So I did. Now I feel obligated to tell others about exactly what it is the US miltary does overseas and let them know the true cost of our american way of life. Posts by Matthew Rhodes Winter |
