Vets Waging Green Peace

 

Since I returned from combat in Iraq, the concepts of war, justice, and human rights have weighed heavily on my consciousness. I’ve dedicated myself to the antiwar movement and debated tactics and strategies for the most effective way to end armed conflict. The more I delved, the more I saw societies around the world turn to violence to solve their differences.
