CIA proprietary aircraft and civilian crews were used in the covert activity, including the illegal narcotrafficking of cocaine in the country.

However, some indiscretions are inexcusable. When the consequence of a decision impacts another human life so far that, that affected life is lost or is so inadvertently altered there exists no chance for recourse.

John McCain`s Continuing Disservice to America

First a friend to communist captors, now he's kissing cheeks with the terrorists, McCain must be stopped.

(SACRAMENTO, CA) - Has John McCain lost his mind? His illegal meeting with Sunni terrorists in Syria is the latest stain on this warmonger's record. He's a morally repugnant low life rich guy who does nothing to this country but a disservice.

I have written before that McCain is the Manchurian Candidate, the one who was programmed long ago to destroy this nation from within.

Honoring the Dead

I don't care what people think, nobody has a right to start wars, to continue to use money that should be targeted for education and food and science, for drones and other death tools that indiscriminately rob life.

(SACRAMENTO, CA) - On a day we are to celebrate and honor our war dead, I feel sadness and grief and want to ask many unavoidable questions. For the Marines in the WWII island campaigns, and the U.S. Army's war against Hitler, I see justice.

For the American soldiers who defeated the Confederate traitors and slave traders, there was no option other than to fight. Spare those, I see nothing honorable.

An El Toro Marine with prostate cancer was left on his own to drive home after telling a cancer center treatment doctor of severe abdominal pains.

(SOMERDALE, NJ) - Cancer is not something that anyone would volunteer for or for that matter wish on another human being. The cliché ‘avoid like the plague’ comes immediately to mind.
