every day i search for hope and fight cynicism as i watch comfortable americans shop, overconsume and indulge in their favorite distractions. i often feel powerless to stop the devastation and injustice. Evan inspires me to continue to fight so those who come after us will have a future.

Everytime I hear defenders of the Iraq war claim that the military is "all volunteer", it tells me that they fail to understand the reality of the situation. I hope Evan can raise awareness about this "back door draft". Thank you Evan for your courage and your service.
It's always so moving to hear someone standing up to tell a simple truth in the midst of lies.
Maybe we'll see more soldiers doing this.
I grew up in a town with a volunteer fire department. When the siren sounded people ran to put out the fire. When the fire was out people went home. No-one was forced to do anything. It's only a volunteer army as long as you don't join it.
