by yourself.
Anti-War

was trying to help end the killing, "but there were times I was thoughtless and

government was lying to us and men were dying because of it, and I felt I had
to do anything that I could to expose the lies and help end the war.
“In my mind it takes
a special kind of courage to risk your life in another country, for your own country.
The men and women who came back and spoke out were a special kind of hero.”
