About Me
Charlie Anderson served in the United States Navy from 1996-2005. He was deployed to Kuwait in February 2003 with the Marine Corps’ Second Tank Battalion and “crossed the line” into Iraq on March 20th, 2003 in the first wave of the war. In Iraq he realized that war is not merely politics by other means. The conditions he saw formed his belief that violence and arrogance are poor foreign policy. Like 30% of Iraq War veterans he returned to the United States with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for which he was discharged in March 2005. Since his discharge he has been a strong advocate to ending the senseless slaughter in Iraq and caring for our troops when they return. He lives and works in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Charlie-
Peace be with you as you speak before this commission. Thank you for your important work on behalf of the poor. Many of our government officials are poorer than they will probably ever know because they greedily put their faith in money. Money will never completely satisfy them, but they seem unwilling to share their enormous unearned wealth and good fortune with others. Learning to share is something we learn in kindergarten. I guess that indicates just how evolved Bush and his cronies really are!
