Thank you! https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=ZVN55T42MWV42 Matt Hoh is a member of the advisory boards of Expose Facts, Veterans For Peace and World Beyond War. In 2009 he resigned his position with the State Department in Afghanistan in protest of the escalation of the Afghan War by the Obama Administration. He previously had been in Iraq with a State Department team and with the US Marines. He is a Senior Fellow with the Center for International Policy. There has never been progress by the U.S. military in Afghanistan, unless you are asking the US military contractors or the Afghan drug barons, of whom an extremely large share are our allies in the Afghan government, militias and security forces, there has only been suffering and destruction. American politicians, pundits and generals will speak about "progress" made by the 70,000 American troops put into Afghanistan by President Obama beginning in 2009, along with an additional 30,000 European troops and 100,000 private contractors, however the hard and awful true reality is that the war in Afghanistan has only escalated since 2009, never stabilizing or de-escalating; the Taliban has increased in strength by tens of thousands, despite tens of thousands of casualties and prisoners; and American and Afghan casualties have continued to grow every year of the conflict, with US casualties declining only when US forces began to withdraw in mass numbers from parts of Afghanistan in 2011, while Afghan security forces and civilians have experienced record casualties every year since those numbers began to be kept by the UN. http://original.antiwar.com/matthew_hoh/2017/08/20/trumps-turn-lie-afghanistan/ Defense Man Power Data Base https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/dwp/index.jsp The Military is NO different than any other Job that is designed to make "careers" out of what should be, not even temporary. The people in this country who go to work every day and feel and see that something is not right yet, for the $ and "career" do it anyway. This country does Not care about you! Everyone is used even if it's not that blatant and the military. Don't sacrifice your life. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmfyzJ-mz7A

If every listener donated $1 https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=ZVN55T42MWV42 I have no choice but to speak out now about the abusive "family", really, Enemy system That I've been trying to speak out about for 4 decades. I've been shamed, silenced, minimized, ignored, made to feel crazy for having experienced what I experienced. I tried all my life to stand up for myself heal from the Trauma of a poisonous environment at a young age and could feel I was going right up against the grain. You hear about whistleblowers, and people coming out today, about the retaliation they go through when they speak out against abuse or corruption. You don't hear about people speaking out about the abuse they suffered as a child in their own house. Of course, as a child, you can't speak up for yourself. As a child, people can do what ever they want to you and there's NOTHING you can do about it. So I have to speak up now about the rage, the trauma and health problems I had to live with all my life. People like Melissa Mays are saying the Same Exact thing as I was trying to speak out about at a very young age. She, and the others who were poisoned in Flint are going through EXACTLY what I went through as a child/teen by myself in my own "home". And Not just "home" but, Neighbors, relatives, community. Everyone failed me when I was a child. There is/was No one to Raise you and treat you the way you deserve. People have children and take it so lightly bringing a Life into the world. They just make lame excuses about why they can't treat you the way you deserve and think there will be No consequences. Now, Entire Towns/ Cities are being poisoned by the Very people entrusted to serve. Imagine what is happening in Flint happening to a child by themselves. How can a child take on these betrayals? They Can't and that's the point. To use the vulnerable to pass down the Debt. I feel that if people took it more seriously, paid closer attention when I was a kid to have better standards instead of lowering the bar, what is happening in Flint, in Louisiana from the BP Oil Spill and Standing Rock would not be happening. I believe that what I lived and felt in my own house when I was a kid is just the smaller version of what Melissa Mays and many others,, those in for-profit prisons, Kids For Cash, The Franklin Cover Up; child sex trafficking, would not be happening today. It's a large Abusive relationship. What Melissa says about being treated like she doesn't know anything because she doesn't have a PhD are things I've been studying and teaching myself about abusive relationships ALL my life! I studied everything I could. I armed myself as much as possible, lived in the gym for decades and, like Melissa, became and expert on he ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2GOwpy2Ml0
