CPT Rene Coronado, USA Ret- USMC Group — now a question for you: would you rather a “taxpayer war package” to Ukraine now, or pay to stop Putin in US service member blood later? In 1936 Europe, that’s roughly the same question Premier Chamberlain (UK) answered by choosing appeasement in Munich. Seven years & 53 million lives lost later, that criminal dictator was finally stopped in Berlin. What final price in American lives are you willing to pay to end the support we give to Ukraine to defend their freedom today — or pay in American blood for our own freedom later? Wounded US Vet says: choose wisely Captain.

🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸 #SpeakUp🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸 🖤If you could have seen the devastation, shattered hearts you'd leave behind, would you still have left this world that day? Would it have made you change your mind? 🖤If you'd known we'd cry so violently and struggle just to breathe, would that have made a difference? Would you still have chosen to leave? 🖤You left without a warning; you left without saying "goodbye." You left us with only questions. The most important one is "why?" 🖤Why did you believe you had to face this world alone? Why did you suffer silently? We would have helped if we had known. 🖤How long had you been hurting before deciding you were done? I'm glad your pain has ended, but our pain has just begun. 🖤So when you see us start to fall apart, when our pain is too much to bear, please take our hands and guide us; remind us that you're there. 🇺🇸If someone you know is struggling emotionally or having a hard time, you can be the difference in getting them the help they need. 🇺🇸#NationalSuicidePreventionHotline 1-800-273-8255 #Veterans Press 1 #Text 838255 #988lifeline #Police CONTACT: text #BADGE to 741741 www.copline.org 1-800-267-5463 #FirstResponders.

Scott Mann it’s written in the Bible, God created the world with the power of spoken word. Storytelling is central to human connection, community and the feeling of security we feel in unity. We are most powerful when diverse coalitions are united on issues, overarching in their importance. Individual citizens have no agency to oppose or influence government. To influence the body politic we must unify. The amazing thing about LAST OUT: Elegy of a Green Beret is it’s the oldest story in the world, one everyone relates to and intuitively understands. It’s the story of people taking action in the face of the constantly shifting sands of war, and politics. It’s a story of human connections, during war, and peace. The lines we draw between; right, and wrong, left and right, are in the background, as unresolved issues. In the foreground, however, Last Out is a warrior’s story, about human connection, highlighting the uncertain and arbitrary nature of war and politics. It demonstrates, deep, long-lasting moral injuries, warriors may sustain, who get caught in the middle. Your play did a masterful job telling this story, it allowed me to: see, hear, and feel, some of the emotional impact of war - so much that it galvanized my personal support for Afghanistan and transformed concern to advocacy. It’s importance as a vehicle to open new discussions and effect political change cannot be overstated - in a larger sense, this play is keeping Afghanistan in the ever changing “American conversation”. It’s storyline, and characters, allows us to differ about domestic issues and policies surrounding war, while unifying around our warriors. We must protect and preserve our servicemen’s health, safety and welfare. While we work jointly, nationally and internationally - to improve our current policy execution shortfalls. We must do better to support our warriors, and allies and take action. This priority “support the troops” exists on a plane which is supranational, extending to all citizens, transcending domestic politics, and national borders. Any who care about our nation, and standing globally, must take action. It’s an international, moral matter, requiring all parties to put aside domestic political policy differences for the greater good. The call I heard… “create a more perfect union, preserve our American way of life, and support our servicemen”. These lofty goals cannot be achieved by one man, one party, one group - it takes cooperative collaborations - public/private partnerships, and engaged citizenship. Unified citizens, soldiers, and business leaders can and must force lawmakers to fulfill their duty, and fulfill the American promise to our allies. Afghan’s need us to act immediately and decisively. Please 🙏 Act Save Afghan Commandos #unitedwestand #saveafghancommandos #afghanistan #lastoutelegyofagreenberet
How does Last Out affect the family? Duncan is a US Marine. I served with his Dad, Mike in Afghanistan. He is one of the finest Special Ops Officers I've ever known. They watched "Last Out" together. It was tough. Mike cried on his young son's shoulder at times and shared things about war that he never thought he'd talk about with his son. But the play opened them both up to the hard conversations we need to have after a life of service. Thank you Mike and Duncan for putting story to work in the most meaningful way. How can you use story in your life to open up the hard conversations that have been buried? #LastOut #VeteransHelpingVeterans #WarriorStorytelling

That will certainly change when the war is being fought in American towns cities and neighborhoods because they were asleep at the wheel and elected leaders who are incompetent. Then fighting over gender issues will be over. Survival will be the only thing left. If you do not wish this to be the case then now is the time to sober up and come to your senses. The best defense is a potent and decisive offense. I don’t believe in always being on defense. But when one goes on offense it should be sudden, completely devastating, decisive and final in its completeness. I don’t believe in providing even the slightest opportunity of our adversaries rising up a second time. We have been too timid and nice. We have been strapped with too many rules and regulations by those who wish to salve their weak consciences im double mindedness in leadership. No conflict is ended decisively by timidity. We have not been allowed to do it and have suffered for it and caused more suffering due to it. Hatred of war is good. Hatred of a false peace and complicity with it is necessary. We cannot be complicit with those who would have us bow before their lack of backbone and resolve. Nor can we allow ourselves to become devoid of mercy in the midst of war. It’s a delicate balance. War is called hell for a reason. False peace is complicity with hell allowing it to destroy unrestrained and without decisive consequences. Removing deterrance assures a greater more destructive war as sure as removing restraints upon a ravenous beast will only feed its ever growing appetites to devour. Lawlessness knows nothing but its insatiable hungers like that of the bottomless pit, and the terror of its total destruction. A false peace and the removal of deterrence feeds that bottomless pit while denying the consequences of doing so. As for people so too for the nation and nations. Othniel Max Daves

“How did we lose ‘ownership’ of our service members’ experience? Distance. No perceived threat to our everyday safety. #Terrorists are ‘out there’– but not here, not in our neighborhoods.” “We send service members off to wars we don’t feel a direct impact from; they come back to us changed and we aren’t sure why. A sanitized war means that we don’t know what war is like.” “We know war involves killing real people, but we close our eyes to the reality that war kills the spirit of the one who kills, too.” “Peripherally, we all know that civilians are killed. But we don’t want to know how it feels to have killed a child or watched it cry while its mother bleeds out.” “His war is his war. Yours is yours. But his and yours are ours.” ****************** Please don’t thank us for our service. Join us. Help us bear the weight in any way you can. That’s what good communities do.
