I was listening to a German parliamentarian the other night. She was making some anodyne comments about transatlantic friendship and the importance of culture.

I still remember that smug look on his face, followed by the matter-of-fact remarks that had western journalists laugh out loud. “I’m now going to show you a picture of the luckiest man in Iraq,” General Norman Schwarzkopf, known as ‘Stormin’ Norman, said at a press conference sometime in 1991, as he showed a video of US bombs blasting an …

First came Fallujah, then Mosul, and later Ramadi in Iraq. Now, there is Kunduz, a provincial capital in northern Afghanistan.

What Women Must Know – The Shocking Discovery Proving the Harmful Health Effects from EMFs with Dr. Martin Pall – 10.08.15

Fred Gardner – Veterans Suicide Epidemic Proves Lucrative for Therapists

The men Philipps writes about served in the Second Battalion, Seventh Marine Regiment (the 2/7), in Afghanistan. Many had been deployed in Iraq, too.
