Though I do have good memories of many activities, friends, experiences during my short period in Naval Air in 1969-70, I must criticize this current world of soldiers, armaments, arms, and War. We need to transform our thousands of well-trained mercenaries of confusion on this Eaarth into effective PEACEmakers who realize solidarity, sustainable livelihoods, and regeneration & conservation of resilient, sustainable ecological community … as “positively ethical applied community ecologists“.
