Hero of the Day!!

This guy is Garrett Reppenhagen. He served with the US military as a sniper (that's heavy) in Iraq. Now he is speaking out against the war. I saw him today on BBC's excellent show Hardtalk. Using his war experience to explain some of the things US soldiers do in Iraq. He also admitted that he was ashamed about some of the things he did. That takes a very brave man indeed. My thoughts are with him.

Today i declare him a true hero!

Self-reflexion is a trait that is severly undervalued in modern western societies. That is probably one of our greatest sins.
