SFTC Supports Rage Against War Machine

I did a lot of driving around the country after I got out of the Navy. I would see Ron Paul signs in rural places where it didn’t seem like people cared about politics. While I was running the Facebook for soldiers I saw how supportive Paulbots were in the Bush era antiwar movement and the Occupy era that we …

Alec Baldwin Join Us

The accidental shooting on set of a western movie by Alec Baldwin could be an opportunity for him to truly do something great, an incredible occasion to do something more than the regular paltry gestures of actors like Sean Penn.

Camera Obscura: War Movie

Marines pass a joint to one another in the dark void of southern Afghanistan and, in crackling night-vision green, the question arises: Did they think they would ever be stoned within range of enemy fire? War is a bitch. It takes the human soul, puts it through a grinder, and spits out a ripped and battered pit of despair. But …

War with Me

I’m built backwards.  I have legs for arms, hands for feet.  No, that’s not the right.  I was wise beyond my years, isn’t that the term your elders use when the first signs of intelligence spark in your eyes, and the grey mush inside your skull begins to take on some form?  Yeah, I think that’s it.   We all …
