Charlie Susterich

I was born and raised in Seattle, WA. and graduated high school in June of 2001. I spent a year roaming around my home town without a purpose. I joined the United States Army thinking that it would be for a good cause and a proper fight. I trained with the best cav unit on the planet and felt good about the "war on terror". While being deployed I quickly learned that this wasn't a fight against terror, this was a money grabbing, oil sucking war machine that only wanted to change an entire country into what the United States government wanted them to be, not what would make that country (Iraq) better for the people. I thought when I joined I would be helping the citizens of the United States, my fellow citizens, to keep their freedoms but I soon realized that this had nothing to do with the States, this had everything to do with some sort of conspiracy: fear is the ultimate capitol gain. Anyways, after fighting the illegal war I will join the fight against the illegal war and return my brothers and sisters across the ocean. Thanks, Charlie
