THE WAR BEHIND ME:
Coming to terms with the reality and the lessons ignored for far too long, which ultimately by ignoring led us into the Deja-Vu of invasion and long term occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and the failed leadership exposed!
Vietnam Veterans Confront the Truth About U.S. War Crimes
Inside, the book, the Army’s Secret Archive of Investigations.
Atrocities, on all sides, are only a part of the story of the Tragedy of War and Occupation.
