The Broken Soldier

A friend lives with a serious threat looming everyday. Her threateners: Her command. Her threatened punishment: Incarceration. The wording of the threats leveled against her: “The lesbians in military prison are waiting for you.” Her crime: Iraq Veterans Against the War membership.

I want you to think about that, my friends, before you do whatever it is you do on a Friday night. I want you think about that before you go to bed. This, my friends, is what those who defend your freedoms, ensure your safety, who guard the walls so well many of you don’t realize/recognize the evil gathering outside them, deal with everyday from their ’superiors.’
