Reason First: Man is Ready for War!
With the Ukraine invasion becoming ever more peculiar, Americans seem poised to want to join the fight. Military Facebook group members are scratching their heads, building up tension within their own lives, and the safety of the United States home front. There seems to be a tacit idea that American veterans, and some active duty personnel, want to help Ukraine through force.

He Had A Gun
Last year, I was visiting my parents in the small seaside town where I grew up in England. It's a quiet, quaint kind of place where the average age is somewhere around 140 and the streets fall almost completely silent at around 9:30pm. Excitement, of any kind, is rare.

My Mother Was a Good Gal with A Gun
The year was 1975. I was in fifth grade. It was a night like any other until my mother woke me in the middle of the night to call an ambulance for my father. He was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. The bullet had pierced his stomach lining and lodged near his spine, requiring major surgery for the organ damage and internal bleeding. My father was well-loved by anyone who knew him, so who would have been so callous as to come into our home and shoot him?

Twenty years is it nothing?
The September 2001 attacks led the United States to the longest and most costly campaign in its history: the so-called "war on terror." The international operations, supported by allied countries and NATO, led not only to open battle fronts in several Middle Eastern nations, but also to a hunt for the main leaders and members of what Washington considered "terrorist organizations."

Where Were You When It All Started?
Remembering 9-11 It's quite an extraordinary view and something that I have never, nor will I ever, have the privilege of witnessing. The Twin Towers were a part of the New York City skyline for many years before September 11th, 2001. I never gave them a second thought until that morning. At 8:45 am on a clear Tuesday morning a Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of fuel crashed into the first tower or what was known as the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The plane's impact with the building, near the 80th floor, left a gaping, burning hole in the 110-story skyscraper that killed hundreds of people in an instant and trapped hundreds more located on the higher floors.
