I have completed four years in the military and 2 deployments, in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The news and media does not always put out the issues that many of us soldiers think about, the 2 or 3 star retired general that talks on TV does not really know whats going on he doesnt know what the soldiers need its thewho know this. They always candycoat everything to make it sound better than it is or a nice spin on it. I'm here to tell the truth and help filter through all the BS and double talk. 

I now go to Housatonic Community College in Bridgeport, CT, and coordinate veterans on campus.

I feel strongly that America should withdraw its troops from Iraq, its time for the Iraqis to do thier job and put the country back together we cant hold their hands forever

I am a registered Democrat and support Obama.

I do have questions for all the candidates about financial support and resources for young vets to attend school.
