About Face: Military Resisters Turn Against War
Voices from the Courage to Resist Audio Project
Published by PM Press
Review by Gerry Condon and Helen Jaccard
They are known as "war resisters," "GI resisters," and "conscientious objectors." That is what their friends and supporters call them. They are called many other names too, like "cowards and traitors." But who are they really? Why did they join the military in the first place? What changed their minds about going to war?
About Face is a collection of moving personal stories told by the resisters. They were compiled by members of Courage To Resist, the Oakland, California-based collective that has taken the lead in publicizing and supporting the legal and political struggles of today's military resisters. Sarah Lazare's introduction and her interview with
economic pressures that led them to enlist
lies of military recruiters
the brutality of military training
discovering the truth about war and occupation
making the decision to resist
the difficult struggle to survive the consequences of that decision
Samantha Schutz had been "In an inpatient program in my local hospital for deep depression…my recruiter had told me not to put that stuff on the application…. Just the first week, I was experiencing a lot of the same depression I dealt with for about five years solid before I got into the military." Samantha tried repeatedly to be discharged but ended up in
Kimberly Rivera experienced extremely aggressive recruiting at her high school. "When they get your rosters from school, they start calling your home; they start setting up their tables again in the lunchroom, continuing to do their spiel on you over and over and over." After testing, "They gave me three choices of what I could do. So I chose a job, but not knowing that when I chose my job I was actually signing a military contract." Soon Rivera found herself in
Ryan Johnson "wanted to serve my country, but I didn't want to be taking people's lives in the process…. I requested a job that would be mostly clerical…. They told me I'd be in a warehouse in the
Tim Richard signed up with the National Guard, thinking he would be doing disaster relief. "They had actually promised a lot more money to me when I joined."
Johnson would not go to
Tim Richard's father was Canadian, so he had an easy time claiming Canadian citizenship for himself. All three soldiers have received support from the War Resisters Support Campaign in
Robin Long also went AWOL to
Starting to See Things Differently
André Shepherd graduated from
Shepherd ended up living in his car before running into an Army recruiter. "All I had to do was sign up for a few years and I would have all of these benefits." Shepherd joined the Army and was trained to maintain Apache helicopters before being sent to
"When I was in
"So I started to do research...and I started to see little inconsistencies in what I was reading, you know, between what the Bush administration was telling everybody and what was actually happening.... Once I pretty much figured out the truth, that this was basically nothing but a fraud, not only on the American people, but on the entire world, I resolved that I would not go on another deployment to

Courtelyou continued: "About two months after returning from
"I was pissed. I was furious. For one, I'm already having problems because I got this feeling like I've turned into a machine—a machine that can kill without second thoughts, a machine that can look at a dead person and laugh about it. So I'm already having a little bit of identity issues and now I'm told that I'm government property and I'm damaging it? If this is how you're going to react to a soldier having a problem, I'm done. So I went AWOL...for 29 days and turned myself in."
Both the mental health specialist and the chaplain were very poor at listening and wanted him to go to the psychiatrist to get pills. "Pills for your insomnia, pills for your anger, your aggressiveness, your anxiousness, whatever…. I didn't feel comfortable with pills because after I came back from

Skyler James contacted the War Resisters Support Campaign. "They were very helpful. If we had not contacted them, we probably would not be where we are right now. I'm allowed to work in this country.

The issue of persecution due to her sexual orientation is being considered by
Bradley Manning and Whistle-blowing
The final few sections of About Face offer some bonus gems, including one about Operation Recovery, a campaign launched by Iraq Veterans Against the War to save soldiers who are already physically or psychologically injured by war from being re-deployed. Another gem is editor Buff Whitman-Bradley's compelling interview with Vietnam-era whistle-blower Daniel Ellsburg of Pentagon Papers fame, about the alleged Wikileaks whistle-blower, Army PFC Bradley Manning.
Josh Steiber and Ethan McCord, two soldiers who were part of the Collateral Murder operation, published an "Open Letter of Reconciliation and Responsibility to the Iraqi People." The soldiers' moving letters, re-published at the end of About Face, conclude: "Please accept our apology, our sorrow, our care, and our dedication to change from the inside out. We are doing what we can to speak out against wars and military policies responsible for what happened to you and your loved ones."
We highly recommend this book. It is must reading for young people who are being targeted by military recruiters and for all who wish to better understand what led these young men and women to enlist and then to resist.

Amidst all the verbiage and showmanship of a State of the Union address it's often hard to come away with just one clear nugget. After all, the President outlines his agenda for the coming year, and tries to impart a nuanced vision that merges both policy details and abstract aims for the country's future.
Unless you're of a particular political persuasion, that is, in which case you listened to the speech and came away with one thing: CLASS WARFARE!

Around 800,000 undocumented children live in the U.S. They have no recollection of or roots in the countries in which they were born. They had no role in their parents' decision to come to the U.S. Many don't speak anything but English.
Before the anti-immigrant firestorm exploded on the political scene in 2006, politicians of all stripes recognized the need to acknowledge these children and find a way to incorporate them into American society.
Even Gov. Perry signed the Texas Dream Act in 2001, a bill that accomplishes much of what the President just endorsed. What seemed like a good idea in 2001 cost Mr. Perry dearly in his failed presidential run a decade later.
Critics like Sen. Marco Rubio correctly point out the president's decision was polarizing and will make a congressional resolution of immigration issues more difficult. But this is a campaign season, and for months Hispanics have heard nothing but hostility during the Republican presidential nominating process.
Don't forget, Mitt Romney was even booed in a debate for merely mentioning that his father was born in Mexico.
Almost every battleground state now has a sizable and growing legal Hispanic population that would otherwise be culturally and socially sympathetic to the GOP.
But in the starkest possible terms, President Obama has now put massive deportations of innocent children back on the table. No fence sitting on this one. Every Republican running for office anywhere had to endorse hard line opposition.
But that comes at a cost. Wedge issues don't allow for nuance or shades of gray. Splitting up families or deporting innocent children is inevitably a visceral issue in the targeted community.
It's true. Mr. Obama's decision does make a legislative resolution more difficult. But in the zero sum game of presidential electoral politics in battleground states, he probably won substantially more votes than he lost.

Oakland, Calif. — They stayed in the game thanks to the Tennessee Titans, took it over once they figured out Steve McNair and rediscovered their offense, and then set off a Raider Nation celebration not seen for nearly 20 years.
The Oakland Raiders are back in the Super Bowl for the first time since 1984, getting there with a 41-24 victory against the Titans in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday at Network Associates Coliseum. Oakland will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by former Raiders coach Jon Gruden, for the NFL championship Sunday in San Diego.

ProPublica analyzed federal education data from the 2009-2010 school year to examine whether states provide high-poverty schools equal access to advanced courses and special programs that researchers say will help them later in life. This is the first nationwide picture of exactly which courses are being taken at which schools and districts across the country. More than three-quarters of all public school children are represented. Read our story and our methodology.

Maplebrook Elementary School, part of the Naperville CUSD 203, is located in Naperville, Illinois. The school reports an enrollment number of 610 students in grades pre-kindergarten through five, and it has 28 teachers on staff.
ProPublica's analysis found that all too often, states and schools provide poor students fewer educational programs like Advanced Placement, gifted and talented programs, and advanced math and science classes. Studies have linked participation in these programs with better outcomes later in life. Our analysis uses free and reduced-price lunch to estimate poverty at schools. We based our findings on the most comprehensive data set of access to advanced classes and special programs in U.S. public schools — known as the Civil Rights Data Set— released by the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.
Maplebrook Elementary School's enrollment rate for gifted and talented is 6 percent.
These data points were reported by schools and districts to the Office for Civil Rights. For more information about the data, see our full methodology.

(Newser) – Seven years ago, an 8-year-old girl was pulled from her mother's arms by the tsunami in Indonesia; now, word is she's been discovered alive. An acquaintance brought a 15-year-old girl to her grandfather's home this week; his name—Ibrahim—was the only one she could remember, state news reported. The acquaintance had found the girl in a nearby coffee shop, where she'd been taken for a beggar.
Ibrahim was sure the girl, who was reportedly seeking her old home, was his missing granddaughter Wati, the Huffington Post reports. Her parents later recognized a mole and scar on her face. The rest of her story remains a mystery so far, MSNBC notes. It's a storybook tale—let's hope it isn't too good to be true.

The man on death row in the federal penitentiary writes to meOn lined loose-leaf paper that when he was a boy in the SouthHe was so absorbed by tent revivals that he knew he would beA preacher, knew it in his deepest bones. I would stand on myBed and preach to the babies, and stand on a barrel and preachTo the chickens and the hogs, and preach the Word to the cow,Who would not come to Jesus nor to anyone else neither. Well,That is not how things turned out for me, which is a long story,But what I want to get down in this letter is the blessings I hadWhen I was a boy. Now there is much to say that was not at allIn the least blessed, it was a violent and perplex raising we had,But what I want to get down is that was a time of great wonderAnd satisfaction for me because I knew what I was going to be.I could spend a lot of time explaining how I came to not be thatWhich I knew I was going to be but I have wasted enough timeIn that fruitless pursuit. Thank you for reading this letter, whichIs a kindness on your part. It allowed me to remember a blessedTime, there on the old barrel preaching the Word to the animals.
What are the things I should know about being homelessThat I would never imagine myself? I ask a girl who wasHomeless from age thirteen to age seventeen. You neverSaw a nicer more pleasant neatly dressed kid in your life,This kid. The only way you can tell who she used to be isThat she has a bunch of steel teeth. Any hint of difficulty,She says, you move. Move anyways, on general principle.Any safe spot you find will eventually be found by others.As for new friends, trust but verify, as some old presidentSaid. Learn to lie with a totally straight face. Brush teeth!I still have trouble not lying immediately and defensively.That's a problem for me. I got so good at it that it's toughTo not be good at it anymore. The best way to get by is toPerform, to not be who you really are, so the actual you isNot in danger. You can shuck the person you perform likeA snake shucks a skin. Teachers here tell me I ought to beIn theater, I should try out for plays and musicals, but thatIs exactly what I am trying not to be, which is good at notBeing the real me anymore. Does this make sense? You'dBe a natural, my teachers say, and I have to laugh becauseNatural at not being me is who I don't want to be anymore.
Consider the case of a mathematician, in this caseMy oldest brother, who is (a) halved by an illness,(b) stilled completely by it, and (c) reduced to ash.Trust me, he would be the first to note that finallyHe finished his travels at 0.00416666667 of whatHe weighed for a long time. I bet then he'd spendWeeks poking into what else weighed exactly that.I'd get a terse note with a list in his meticulous ink:The cardinal on average weighs 0.992 of a pound,And the long-tailed weasel weighs exactly a pound.A letter like that is exactly like a zen koan, I think.It's as much a door as a statement. Let us considerThat we have all just now received this terse letter.It sits there grinning on the table next to the coffee.I don't know about you, but I am going to dive intoThe whole weasel question. We have so little time,And there's so much to be discovered. I want to beAble to be conversant about this the next time I seeMy brother. He'll want to know. He'll have missedA lot of time that could have been devoted to theseThings, and someone has to carry the ball, whetherIt's weasels or cardinals or cancer. How mortifyingIt will be if he asks me about something, and I haveTo say I didn't pay attention, man, and he will stareAt me with that laser stare and not even have to say,And what was it you did instead of paying attention?
The good sweet Lord knows I have nothing wise to say about anythingWhatsoever; certainly that has been proven over the last fifty-five yearsThat we have known each other. And while spiritual verve is inarguable,Religious pronouncements at a time like this can sound awfully shallow.So all I want to do this morning is find some word that can approximateThe love I feel. Affection and respect are ingredients, sure, and certainlyLaughter and stories, especially those that start out remember that time?,Because stories are a terrific way to say things that you can't find wordsFor. I keep wanting to push deeper, but I can't get deeper than the story Of the time we broke your finger—all us kid brothers attacking the kingAt once, ostensibly in the flow of a football game, but really we wanted To take you down, to miraculously drop the taoiseach, because we lovedYou, because your were our hero, because you were the tallest and oldest,Because you laughed, even with your finger bent in the wrong direction,Knowing that we were so furious because a bruising tackle is a languageAlso. You can say a lot about love by hammering your brother in a game,It turns out. You knew what we were saying. I remember you taped your Finger back together and didn't bother to tell Mom. We admired that too.

Now a prissy picnic spot, that football-field sized lawn between Fifth and Sixth, south of 42nd used to be a Midtown dealers paradise.

Land Rover Turns Over 65
If you were to ask the internet if Land Rovers are popular, by in large the answer would be yes. If you were to ask me, I'd refer you to several photography feeds on my phone which is typically chock-full of Rover shots from all over the globe, but typically below 14th street.
The word is out, Land Rovers are cool; or are they? The answer is still unequivocally, yes. But without bursting the bubbles of the young and loyal, Land Rover has been cool for sometime. Just ask Churchill or Bob Marley – both were Land Rover enthusiasts.
This April marks Land Rover's 65th anniversary and the release of their Series I vehicle. What was essentially a knock off of the American Jeeps used during World War II, the British manufacturer added their own spin to the all-wheel drive technology developed stateside (Jeep was the first all-wheel drive vehicle), and Land Rover was born. Albeit, originals being built on Jeep chassis. That was 1948.
Today, it's clear Land Rover is singing a different tune. Not to fret, today's models continue to be designed for every condition imaginable, despite the spike in soccer moms ditching the minivan or professional athletes jumping on the Rover wagon. At their core, they're still capable of wading through a several feet of water or climbing elevations too steep to walk. And they don't look all too bad doing it. Which, along with their technical capacity, the very specific aesthetic has taken them a long way from their humble Newborough, Anglesey beginnings.
Personally, I can't get enough of Land Rovers. Everywhere I go, my Rover radar is alive and well, with the occasional annoying inspection held street side. And last year, I finally joined the ranks and bought one of these beasts (a '95 County LWB) which has paid dividends in pleasure and cost dividends in maintenance. And while I'm partial to the older generations, it's nice to see their odometer hit 65. Happy Birthday Land Rover.
Trip Report: Istanbul Escape
The winter months in the northeast are no-one's friend. And while it's no secret that winters in this part of the country are less than desirable, every year I complain, so every year I flee. While the destination is sporadic, there are some common denominators – plus 13 degrees Celsius, availability to adult beverages, and more than eight hours of sunlight. Last month, Istanbul was my final destination.
Istanbul is not a city for the weary. It's enormous in scale, the layout isn't for the geography challenged, and well, its dynamic creates a much more intense foreign feeling than some of its European counterparts. All this aside, with no more than four days on the ground, we had our work cut for us. But not to fret, we also had Turkish coffee in our tanks.
Three things can be your best friend when traveling with limited time in any foreign city. For starters, the realization that you cannot and will not see all the stuff you either want to see, or what everyone else said you must see. And, nine of ten times, all that advice from friends and such is typically going to get you surrounded by packs of people wearing white sneakers and carrying a canon point & shoot around their neck. After you accept this simple fact, put together a realistic plan of attack that knocks out certain pockets of a city and has everything you need – shopping, food, culture and of course, libation depots. And finally, if you're one of the six humans that do not own and iPhone, get your act together, then download the google maps app. The best free purchase you'll ever make, it works offline and will save you countless hours looking foolish/vulnerable whilst fumbling with an over sized map in the one neighborhood you were told to avoid.
No exception to the rule(s), seeing the mammoth of a city that is Istanbul was accomplished in said fashion. During our four days, we canvassed the city, mostly on foot (the preferred method of exploring), searching for pieces of Constantinople's past, hidden spots and quickly getting through the white sneaker zones. And while it's not Istanbul's fault per se, there weren't a lot of shopping distractions, which left plenty of time to soak in the former Ottoman Empire.
While, the weather was nearly the same as New York, as was the hours of day light, Istanbul proved to be the perfect break to my seasonal set-back. If it's not on your list, it should be. The architecture, people and food are all incredible, as is the exchange rate. And while I only dipped out for a long weekend, it only took a few hours to realize I'd be returning.
And as always, follow our shenanigans and keep up with us in real-time on twitter (@stndardedition) and instagram (@standardedition).
Fabric First: Holland & Sherry
Holland and Sherry may have one of most robust backgrounds when it comes to fabrics. Since the early 1800′s, they've been a premier supplier of fine fabrics and cloths to fashion house and luxury brands the world over. If the English do one thing well, it's produce quality fabrics – thank that nice weather they're rumored to have. And if the weather created a need for protective and quality materials, the surrounding climate supplied the necessary ingredients. To this day, Holland and Sherry continue to source their fabrics from Yorkshire, where the climate and water create the perfect environment for finishing the cottons and wools needed for tartans, or tweeds.
After 170 years Holland and Sherry have made a fitting move into garments and wearables. Utilizing their English roots coupled with exceptional fabrics and a Savile Row stronghold, you can bet you won't be disappointed by what's on the shelves. I paid a visit to their new retail location last year when they initially opened, and was immediately impressed by both the store and product. If you're in the area, check it out for yourself.
You can find Holland & Sherry Bespoke at 209 Elizabeth Street, New York.
The Pride of Africa: Rovos Rail
In early 2010 I traveled across the country by train. While I've spent a significant amount of time on trains throughout my life, none having been for any long duration. Subways, commuter rails and short hauls between New York and Boston, or New York and Washington was the full make-up of my experience on rails. Nothing even close to what it would take to reach San Francisco; some 70-hours. However, after some initial hesitation I booked a ticket, and would eventually arrive in San Francisco aboard Amtrak's California Zephyr.
Like so many others aboard the train, it was far more than just a ride across the country, (T Magazine recently discussed some of the more interesting types who ride the rails). I was looking to explore, see the country in a different light, and ride the same stretch of rail that was the first to connect the country's shores. And to this day, I think taking that train was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Sure it's a long ride, and yes there are definitely some weird beards on board, but it's one of the few ways to fully experience just how big and beautiful this country really is.
It was my trip across the U.S. that's had me looking into other routes around the globe. Since heading out west, I've managed to get on a few other trains in a few other countries but have had my sights set on one train in particular; Rovos Rail. Known as The Pride of Africa, the south African railroad cuts a path through several countries, and offers amenities that include safari, chartered flights, and cabins that are bigger than most Manhattan apartments, to name a few. It's the Rolls Royce of the railroad.
Started almost by accident, Rovos was a pure product of passion. After acquiring an old locomotive, several coaches and potentially facing bankruptcy, what was initially a personal endeavor quickly became a commercial offering, and Rovos Rail was born. Just over 20 years later, Rovos operates with more than 10 locomotives, over 100 coach cars, and is considered one of the most luxurious train journeys in the world.
Rovos hangs their hat on not only the impeccable quality of their service and equipment but also on the journeys they offer. One of the main benefits of taking a train, where ever you are, is blazing a trail typically only traveled by the train. This is where Rovos Rail embarrasses similar railways. In addition to operating one of the most impressive fleets of refurbished antique cars and coaches, Rovos carves a path through a section of the globe experienced by less than one percent of people in the world. And with full ownership of everything from the cars and coaches to the actual stations, no detail is left by the wayside. Oh, and a champagne toast is celebrated before every journey, no big deal.
It's true, the Sierra Nevada mountains or Nebraska under moonlight isn't a south African safari aboard a vintage train with drinks that are aged a minimum of 18 years. And, while Amtrak is a far cry from Rovos Rail, or nearly any other train in the world for that matter, it did give me a true appreciation for traveling by rail. And hell, if you're going to spend five plus days on a train, best make it count. [Rovos Rail]

Panthers linebacker Jon Beason took a break from training Thursday to speak at the basketball camp hosted by Bobcats president Fred Whitfield.
Meanwhile, back in Miami, Beason's teammate and workout partner indicated Beason and his surgically-repaired Achilles tendon look to be in good working order.
Panthers tight end Greg Olsen posted on Twitter that he had worked out with Beason for the past week.
"Trust me he will be fine," tweeted Olsen, who played with Beason at Miami. "He looks like he did in college at 21 (years) old."
Beason ruptured his left Achilles in Week 1 last year and missed the rest of the season. He participated in organized team activities and minicamp on a limited basis, but expects to be fully ready when training camp begins in two weeks.
"I'll be out there. I'll take the reps with the ones (first-teamers)," Beason said. "Camp is a grind. I expect it to be sore. You're going to have good days and bad days. It's just camp, even if you are healthy. Getting in football shape is always a tough task. I'll do as much as I can and be smart about it."
Beason told the basketball campers he spent part of his summer watching Wimbledon and the Euro Cup soccer tournament.
"I love to watch championships. It doesn't matter what sport it is because I just want to be in that moment," Beason said. "It's going to be special to me when we get a championship."
Running back Jonathan Stewart said getting Beason back is a big key to a successful season.
"He's a monster," Stewart said. "And we didn't have our monster last year."
Judge and jury: Beason empathized with New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma – another University of Miami product – and Vilma's attempts to overturn a season-long suspension stemming from his role in the Saints' bounty program.
Vilma has a federal lawsuit pending against the league that alleges Commissioner Roger Goodell failed to make a timely ruling on his appeal. Goodell denied the appeals of Vilma and three other suspended players last week.
"It's tough in our league because Goodell's rule is law. There's no one to really challenge him or go against him," Beason said. "Obviously, he's probably bouncing stuff off people.
"But it's tough because when you do file an appeal, the appeal goes through him. Well, he issued it. So it's like, what is the point or the purpose for having an appeal process?"
Beason hopes Goodell will allow Vilma to play this year while investigating the matter further.
"Vilma's always been an upstanding guy, class act, very smart guy. Great player, leader, give you everything he has," Beason said. "He loves the sport and he's good for the sport."
Extra Points: The Panthers will hold a three-day rookie camp in Charlotte before the full team reports to Wofford. The camp, which begins July 23, will include rookies and selected veterans, including the team's three quarterbacks. … Roger Allen, a third-year offensive lineman, underwent sports hernia surgery recently but should be ready for training camp.
