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 relativistic generator

Watched Defiance today

June 7th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

What a great story about Pol­ish Jew­ish broth­ers turned lead­ers and fight­ers who fought the Ger­mans and saved over 1,200 lives in the forests of Belarus.

The inter­est­ing back story is one brother, Tuvia, after aveng­ing his par­ents mur­der at the hands of the Ger­mans, takes in all refugees, finds some way to feed them and avoids direct con­flict with the Ger­mans. His brother Zus joins the Rus­sians and finds him­self becom­ing more and more like the enemy he hunts until they learn that a com­bi­na­tion of both strate­gies are needed to survive.

After the war they even­tu­ally came to the US and ran a truck­ing com­pany for 30 years.
