I asked a Korean vet why he didn't tell his son about war before he joined. His response was, " I didn't think I was supposed to. I thought the government was right, they knew more than I did. When he was killed I lost my soul,"
How about if we stop creating war veterans? The US has remained engaged in wars more often than not, usually by choice, for a full century already, going back to WWl. There is no money left to maintain the US. The longer we ignore our poverty crisis, the wider and deeper it grows, destroying the nation from within.
I am a disabled veteran. Regardless of what I may think about any military engagement, I will support the men and women in uniform, past, present, and future.
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
—Leonardo DiCaprio, actor, producer, and environmental activist
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
—Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current
