People like this are the real heros … not braindead soldiers which murder people somewhere on this planet for wallstreet profit An unlikely voice has emerged challenging the drone warfare program: former U.S. Army Reserve Chaplain Captain Chris Antal, who spent time based in Afghanistan. In April, he wrote an open letter to President Obama detailing his reasons for leaving the U.S. Army Reserves, citing his opposition to the administration’s use of drone strikes, its policy on nuclear proliferation, and what he calls the executive branch’s claim of “extraconstitutional authority and impunity for international law.” http://www.democracynow.org/2016/6/3/i_refuse_to_serve_as_an“I Refuse to Serve as an Empire Chaplain”: U.S. Army Minister Resigns over Drone Program

Excellent! thank you.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
I wish many more would follow in his footsteps.
"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." - Frederic Bastiat
"He's gawn" -- why is Obnoxo using his fake Southern accent again? This is wonderful news. It's taken 15 years but I knew there had to be a chaplain with a conscience in there somewhere. It would be lovely if we could get a president with one -- unfortunately nobody on his seemingly endless killed list will ever be able to give us their side of the story. What a horrible, hateful country we are. What a nightmare to be reminded that your government's proudest accomplishment is serving as Izrul's Blackwater.
