My health is deteriorating
I get migraines.
I get alcohol poisoning after 2 beers.
I rarely exercise (although I’m very active)

The human population is increasing exponentially.
The government is corrupt.
Poverty and crime are [...]

Soldiers Speak Out is a powerful, first-hand testament to the reality of the military experience told entirely in the words of American veterans who have been to war and are now opposing it.

trying to bring a smile to another

while greed, war, disease, destruction ravage our [...]

I’m just trying to clean up today!
