Bio:
I grew up in a good home. I was a good kid. I had no good options. Be all you can be. A real American Hero. Uncle Sam’s son. A lean, mean, fighting machine. A steely-eyed killer. Borne of blood and steel.
I became a dangerous man. I went to dangerous places. I slept next to killers. I woke next to killers. Unenlightened to the ways of pity. They called me a “subject matter expert”.
That Day...
Changed. Everything.
3 bombs dropped like the gentle rains of heaven, giving meaning to the true quality of mercy.
