Support the Truth Author: Dennis Support The Truth, also translated in Japanese (see below) inquires into who the soldiers are really defending and is written in sound bites. Dennis Kyne has taken a good hard look at the military industrial complex and has distilled it down to the most important question: Has the Machine outgrown the Operator? Support the Truth could well be described as an instruction manual in military misdirection. Every chapter has a lesson, a question, an answer, a relevant story or a quotation from someone in the past. This book could be much longer but Kyne has distilled the 10 chapters into memorable and thought-provoking bite-sized pieces. No 'embedded' reporter could ever have captured the frustrations, humiliations and agonies of the combat experience the way Dennis Kyne has. - Gar Smith, www.envirosagainstwar.org If you read only one book about the Gulf War from the grunt's perspective, this is the only candidate. All the rest are establishment-authorized puff jobs. --Thomas Chittum, Vietnam Veteran, 173rd Abn. Your book has given me tremendous insight. I find myself citing you repeatedly in all important conversations since reading it. Thank you endlessly for all you've done and are doing. You are a hero among heroes. --Tricia, Project Censored "An inner-vision testimony of US military life. A must read for all those facing a potential draft, or swallowing the government's slogan "Support our troops." Intimate, engrossing, powerful, appalling, "Support the Truth" does just that." -- Tricia Boreta, Project Censored No American kid should sign on the military's disingenuous dotted line before reading a new book by Dennis Kyne, former Army air medic in the 18th Airborne Corps during Gulf War I. This easy-read book, despite a few expletives, should be a basic primer in all American high schools. It is guaranteed to give kids a perspective on the realities of the atomic battlefields to which Washington has been sending American troops since 1991. --Amy Worthington, Idaho Observer
