About the Author

When my oldest son, a Marine, left for war and crossed the border from Kuwait into Iraq in March 2003 I started writing my conscience. After two tours that young combat veteran, my first born son, is now permanently disabled suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and his mother is now an ardent peace activist. Today I am active with Veterans for Peace, Military Families Speak Out and on the board of Rural Organizing Project Also, I am CEO of Rogue River Wind, Ltd and the inventor of a low profile wind turbine incorporating a high bandwidth generator developed with Portland State University.

   This lookes more like a place where all the criminals in prison’s and jail’s should be, not OUR troops.I have seen inside of prison’s that look like 5 star hotels compared to the troop’s living space.This is sad!!! So where the hell did all the money go that Bush was suposidly helping our troop’s with,in his pocket like his daddy???

   It is heartbreaking how this country treats its service men and women. All the money went to fatten the coffers of the defense contractors, KBR, Blackwater, Halliburton, et al…

   This is why Open Yr Eyes, so many of us lobby Congress to stop funding the war – very little of the money goes to our troops. They are just pawns and victims of incompetence.
