Ken Lenke, Veteran,Author

3/18/11 From the golden vault of the Meria Show is an excellent interview with two brave WW2 Veterans – John Brand and Ken Lenke. Hear these brave educated souls talk about WW2 and today. The Patriot Act, the loss of freedom, and similarities to Hitler’s Germany. 11 million fought in the military in WW2 none said the pledge or carried a flag into war. Real patriotism.Would they enlist today? Their thoughts on todays leaders and wars. Show was aired 8/28/02 and these two brave men predicted Iraq would become another Vietnam, something our “leaders” didn’t know?

Dahr Jamail, Journalist

Meria Heller interviews Dahr Jamail on his excellent book “The Will to Resist, Soldiers Who Refuse to Fight in Iraq & Afghanistan”. This book is a MUST for anyone considering the military.

Suicides and mental damage; returning to nothing; 30% return mentally damaged; 18 veteran suicides a day; the military the only ones hiring; recruitment “promises”; what’s it like over there? In service or jail? Vietnam’s G.I. resistance; low morale; why are they there? the draft; the media; virtual missions, search and avoid; IVAW “Winter Soldier” conference; war on reporters; the Palestine Hotel; AWOL & deserters; sexism, rape, murder and homophobia in the military; 1 in 3 women raped before discharge; La Vena Johnson – suicide? murder & rape covered up; how to stop the war and much more.
