The Stories we all Hear About

    Isn't it odd how people will respond when they have a chance to do so without disclosing who they are? It's like a safety net. People who say anything, good, and bad, happy, sad or anywhere in between under the cloak of nondisclosure often will never disclose their real identity.

     But why would they? Their safety net would be gone and they would have to answer for their words or actions. When I wrote my book, discussing a singular event that occurred in Iraq, I was fully prepared to be challenged by former members of my unit regarding the validity of my words.

     I was challenged. Anonymously of course. It wasn't a real surprise, but it was sickening to read.  There is no advantage to arguing or protecting your work from this type of sniper. They will find a way to harass and threaten - as long as they don't have to come clean.

     I am still proud of the book I have written. I am not a writer, but I am attempting to learn the craft. I wrote about an event that lasted the better part of a year. The scandal that followed has been covered up in an attempt to let this event be swept under the rug.

     I know there are other people who have experienced these same issues, but have been persuaded not to write about them. I have been told I cannot be trusted. I have been told I am a disgrace. I have been told that I am a liar. The only way I can prevail is to defend the slanderous and libelous remarks by producing evidence that I did not conduct myself as a liar or forger of documents.

     But then why should I produce anything? I say let the ludicrous accusations be proven by those who hide behind annomimity. Let them come forward and produce evidence that proves their statements. Surely if they had any so called evidence to rebut my book, they would want to come forward and publicly humiliate me?

     But I think they will not - because no such evidence exists. I feel strongly that this individual is a coward and a bully. As such, this person is only able to produce slanderous innuendos and trifling dialogue.

     It is the same as it always was with these folks.  If they come forward they risk losing so much. They risk thier street credibility. They risk the world finding out about the dark secret - "What happens in Iraq Stays in Iraq".

     No longer. Order my book today and discover for yourself the twisted details of this deployment.
