I am a OIF/OEF veteran against disastrous interventions. I did one deployment to the Persian Gulf where I provided security for a NATO controlled Iraqi Platform. During that time, I didn't think much of it. When the navy gave me a medical retirement for a sexual assault that occurred in the service and the other party got a promotion, I knew this wasn't for me. Then the militarization of the police in standing rock, reminded me that they are working for the same oil companies that I worked for in the gulf. I am also at the point where I believe the earth will not be sustainable if we keep using fossil fuels. The only way I see we can use alternative sources is if we can break the chokehold the fossil fuel industry has on our government. I am also a firm believe that peace can be achieved and I will work for that until my last breath.
