Dear Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!


We are a group of military veterans who are hoping NOT to be blown
off the face of this planet in a nuclear exchange precipitated by events
in Syria.


The U.S. is close to confronting nuclear-armed Russia over Syria. 
This situation was triggered by the recent Assad-Did-It-Again story,
“gassing his own people,” that we first heard in 2013.  Once again
evidence was lacking, and worse, there was a total lack of interest in
finding evidence, or in asking the obvious questions of motive, cui
bono?
