Like religion, another form of manipulation by those who can’t seem to sift through common sense and reason ; (

Nicely done!

Powerful post. I think the video game training is part of the problem with PTSD.

The ‘War on Terror’ is a war on the mind’s grasp on reality. I live in a military town, too, and a retired Naval officer killed himself in despair over the Bush administration’s policies in 2006. He was found cut to death in the woods. We were afraid a monster was at large – and one is – War, Inc.

Sources on the Internet about his peace and social justice activism have been removed, including a friend’s editorial in the local paper, and materials on a Democratic party web site.

All symptoms of a racket war.

Got to your blog via Annie. We recently had a young soldier suicide in our little beach town — a place he came to because he had fond childhood memories of vacationing here. He came all the way from Colorado, knowing he was about to go on a third tour, went to the ocean’s edge, called 911 to notify them to pick up a suicide in a parked car, “…before the children could find him.” He took his life, because he could not stand the anger and the sadness and his desire to hurt others…he’d rather end his life than possibly end the life of others in the future. Simply gut wrenching.
