Watch my December 5, 2012 interview from RT Television’s Washington, DC studio. I discuss how Academi (formerly Blackwater, formerly Xe Services) is now the landlord for US troops in Afghanistan. This way the US government can claim it no longer has “bases” there. Nice spin.

The U.S. Army has designated September as “Suicide Prevention Month.” Things have gotten that bad. Does this also imply that every day in the Army is “Suicide Prevention Day?”
