The answer to the question poised in the title is a redounding NO!!! Why? Because it will never cease in any government. We talk about the corruption in other places but the small scale that happens there is nothing like the absolute rottenness that exists in our own. We like to climb up on [...]
A U.S. Army lieutenant is facing charges stemming from the deaths of two men while he was leading a patrol in a remote section of Afghanistan. The incident prompted authorities to take away 1st Lt.
