Oh please say hi to him for me. I remember those guys opened up with a Mark 19 and the gunfire detection system in my humvee thought we were taking fire from behind and it got our turret gunner all confused. Im glad everyone came out of that ok...

well the way i did it was i put a sleeping bag and some other gear into backpack and i went overseas - to sarajevo, where there was an ongoing civil war. no one will send you until you send yourself. good luck and be safe about it...

i wrote tribe because i wanted to understand - as Benjamin Franklin wrote in a letter - why colonists were constantly running off to join the indian tribes, but indians were never running off to join "civilization." it challenges our assumption of superiority and when i saw a similar thing in soldiers I decided to write about it.

No, fortunately I have never seen war crimes committed by American soldiers. If I did, I would report it. If I filmed it, I would air the footage. War crimes undermine the security and good standing of this country and cannot be tolerated. Frankly I cant imagine the men I was with doing anything even close to what Ware says that he witnessed.
