Dear Mr. Graner,
I am sorry that you are a more direct victim of the arrogance, manipulation and abuses put on the entire american society by those who try to control us all. Although you were apparently involved in some very disrespectful behavior; activities unbecoming (or at least they should be) of the american military code and not representative of what we as civilized citizens of the world should want to promote, you were a pawn. Your primary failing (I won't use the word crime) was one of ignorance. You joined the military thinking that you were upholding american ideals and freedom, and protecting us from foreigners who despised us for those; whereas in reality you and ALL of our military are being used by international banking and corporate elitists and their political mouthpieces to further their own agenda of greed, power and control.
Your wife, children and family should not be subjected to this pain and I truly feel sorry for them. My only advice is to use this opportunity for good and educate yourself as to how the world, in particular the US, works with regard to monetary policy, and foreign and domestic political policy. If you take the time, you will discover how what you thought you were fighting for and trying to protect is a sham, and what you really need to fight to save is your and your childrens future from your own elected leaders.
Barack Obama has made some attempts at fashioning himself as a new Abraham Lincoln. We shall see, but so far all he has shown is that he is a mouth piece for the status quo, in particular Wall Street.
Best of luck to you.
