Veterans coming back from conflict often struggle with the transition to civilian life. They have higher rates of depression and suicide, and they’re more likely to be unemployed.

Veterans of America’s wars often are entangled in the criminal justice system, and the Hawaii Judiciary is trying to make sure those soldiers integrate back into normal society.

Huntington Beach Union High School District is offering diplomas to veterans who could not receive theirs due to their service during World War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is facing scrutiny this week after questions emerged over what happened to millions of dollars he allegedly raised for veterans at a fundraiser in January.

Veterans and non-veterans alike are welcome at the 5th annual Veterans Job Fair Friday, May 20 onboard the USS LST 393 Veterans Museum ship downtown Muskegon.

Justin Morin knows how Iraq changed the lives of those who served and fought there.

Jeffrey Goldberg: “[Obama] is the most Jewish president we’ve ever had (except for Rutherford B. Hayes)."

"The sad truth is that so many female ‘artists’ — almost all of them rabid feminists and sexual exhibitionists — have nothing to sell but vaginas"

The victor always writes history. Only German war crimes were prosecuted at Nuremberg. British and American war crimes were whitewashed out of history.

For the first time, since Vietnam, Americans are divided, even at each other’s throats. We saw the first inklings over Ukraine. Co-workers and families taking sides, bitterness and anger.

- The final stage of the Jewish State and the genocidal enthusiasm in which it manifests itself, throws a devastating light on Jewish culture and the dangerous aspects that are entangled with Jewish identity politics and Jewish national collectivism.

- The United States Army, operating from a secret base in Arizona, has declared war on independent media through hacking, blocking communications and sabotaging radio broadcasts.

I will spend this Memorial Day weekend grieving the suffering of all who have been touched by war remembering that I am both a victim and a victimizer.

While America talks going to war in Europe, those who follow the real condition of America’s military forces, active duty, reserve and veterans, they know it to be nothing but empty talk. Over a dozen years of war has left America’s military manpower exhausted, physically, mentally and “politically.”

America has found itself in an untenable situation in the Ukraine. As the second day of military incursions by the coup backed Kiev government proceed in the East, the Obama administration has begun to realize that it has been “blindsided.”

If we are all interconnected, as Dr. Allen Roland believes, we have been (in essence) interning ourselves, torturing ourselves, spying on ourselves, and going to war against ourselves.

Though, as a member of Veterans For Peace and a philosophy professor with a focus on war and ethics, I have often discussed my impressions and insights about war and its aftermath in the classroom, at conferences and with civic groups, I had never had such discussions with someone who had been my "enemy."

The vast majority of Americans didn't have 30 seconds a day to watch news about the war, not a minute a month to think about it, much less do something, take a stand for what was right. These are the people that love to hear about hippies and airport spitters. These people love Ollie North and John McCain, cartoon heroes for a nation too dead inside to care. Scary terrorists and endless wars are bread and butter for the "drugstore Marine" and "Hanoi John."

The Christ spoke with me last night. I guess you can imagine my surprise when, of all the people in the world he could have spoken to – clergy members, political leaders, Fox “news” commentators, etc. – he chose me. I thought maybe he just needed to rant a bit, to blow off steam. I can certainly understand his frustration given the state of the world and the way his teachings have been ignored, misinterpreted, and exploited by those who claim to be his followers. Or maybe he just wanted to talk with someone he could trust to just listen and not distort his words for their advantage or to the disadvantage of other human beings.

Now that the parades have ended and veterans have enjoyed the “heartfelt gratitude” of an appreciative nation (and a free meal, from a "select menu" at Applebees), I would ask veterans, as they resume their lives of anonymity and neglect, to put aside, for a moment, all the bunk we have been fed over the years from those who were not there.

Israel's Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett last night, November 8, 2013, sent a letter to the powerful Israel lobby group in the US, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, as well as to other branches of world Jewry around the globe, telling them to put pressure on the Gentile nations in which they reside to stop them from signing an agreement with Iran regarding its nuclear program.

A meditation on Veterans Day...

I use this method of communicating to appeal more to the skeptic, and those that are jaded by the mainstream mouthpieces, rather than preaching to the choir.

On September 12, 2013, while walking to give his first lecture at City University New York, CUNY, General (RET) David Petraeus did not expect...

I use this method of communicating to appeal more to the skeptic, and those that are jaded by the mainstream mouthpieces, rather than preaching to the choir.

Press TV has conducted an interview with Gordon Duff, senior editor of VT, about Israel’s envoy to the US Michael Oren saying Israel prefers al-Qaeda-affiliated operatives to Iranian-backed groups.

While Israel may sends its drones over American cities and towns at the invitations of NSA and DHS, it is unlikely that the US government will use chemical weapons, napalms, Agent Orange or fires cruise missiles at cities like Gary, Youngstown, Oakland, Detroit and St. Louis.

Israel’s enemies: Arab countries, as well as Iran, must pursue every possible means to posses the kind of weaponry that deters Israel. It seems this is the only way to bring Israeli aggression to an end.

How many of these AIPAC pro-war campaigners have sent their own sons and daughters to serve in the American military?

Syria is the fuse that could ignite World War III.

Following a quick survey of macro-economic indicators which are readily available on the web, one can readily posit a clear and predictive model of war.

"There's an old saying in Texas, or Tennessee...fool me once, shame on...shame on you...fool me...you can't get fooled again."

U.S. Secretary of State Kerry makes case to attack Syria. No evidence! Just believe us because we said so!

As the USA empire prepares to unilaterally attack Syria, we are reminded that creating reasons for war is a cornerstone of a global bankers empire that seeks control of world resources and governments with the wage slaves as it's livestock.

America's dependence on foreign oil has created an corridor of death and destruction centered on Middle East oil fields.

Gentlemen, it is time to start your engines and prepare to let loose the dogs of war. Gentlemen it is time to stop being gentlemen and time to become lions in defense of your nation.

This summer the world will pause to commemorate the 68th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

In the last day of July 2013, Israel issued an unprecedented warning towards the "Syrian Free Army," the mercenaries attempting to topple the Syrian government.

In the first foggy days of what may become WWIII, when former hidden-friends are apparently nuking each other above and below the water, a much more significant, though overlooked, war is going on in Israel; the Hitchhiking War threatens to ruin what is left of IDF trempiadot.

Today is Memorial Day - the day we Americans ritually sniff the charred flesh of the thousands of young people we have sacrificed to the gods of war - and pronounce it good.
