Antiwar Soldier Promoted to Staff Sergeant

Email This

Ronn CantuOne of the leading voices of dissent inside the U.S. Army has been promoted. Sergeant Ronn Cantu -- who signed a petition to Congress demanding the U.S. withdraw from Iraq and gave interviews to the news shows "60 Minutes" and "Democracy Now!", as well as IPS detailing his opposition -- has seen his rank upgraded to staff sergeant. Some observers say Cantu's promotion shows the military is now so stressed by the ongoing war it is finding it difficult to crack down on dissent within the ranks. Others say it shows a depleted military is doing everything it can to keep as many bodies as possible available for multiple deployments to Iraq (Ronn has already served two tours).

My report about Ronn's case on Free Speech Radio News is below. I also wrote it up for Inter Press News Service.

Now here we are four years later and I still love this sleek little game system as much as ever. It seems like only yesterday I was spending almost every night posting on the GameFaqs PSP Hardware board anxiously awaiting the PSP system's release date to arrive. I met a lot of great gamers and we had some great discussions, cheap dofus kamasbuy dofus kamaskamasdofusdofus des kamasdofus buydofus guidedofus goldcheap dofusat least until the board became a haven for PSP emulation and lost the magic it had back before the launch of the PSP system. It was then that I decided to bail and move on to something else. buy kamascheap kamasbuy dofus moneydofus moneydofus botachat kamasdofus hecatedofus onlineachat dofus kamaskamas dofusBut even though I don't visit the PSP boards much anymore, that certainly doesn't mean I've lost interest in the PSP system. In fact, I own over twice as many PSP titles as DS games as of now.cheap maple story mesosbuy maple story mesosfree maple story mesosmesos for maple storymaple story mesos hacksmaple story mesos hackmaple story mesos combuying maple story mesoscheap maplestory mesosbuy maplestory mesosmaple story guideIt's worth noting that there aren't a lot of PSP releases on tap between now and early next year, but I think that's mainly due to Sony possibly getting ready to announce a new portable system sometime next year. maplestory mesomaple mesosbuy maple mesosmaple storycheap maple story mesomaplestory power levelmaple story power levelhack mesosmaplestory levelingmaple story accountmaple story power levelingIt just feels like it's time given that Nintendo is obviously going to continue on with their successful DS system with the release of the new DSi in Japan later this year and early next year in other regions. free mesos maplestorymaplestory monstersmaple story free hacksmagician maple guidemaplestory statsmaple guidesmaplestory questsmaplestory itemsfree maplestory accountsmaplestory mesosmaplestory mesoI guess for now we'll just have to wait and see what Sony's got up their sleeves.

For any of you out there who haven't yet picked up Magical Starsign, what are you waiting for? I'll admit that I'm still a bit miffed over the US not getting the first Magical Vacation game on the Gameboy Advance, maple story mesosbut I guess I can forgive and forget since we did at least get the sequel in Magical Starsign. On the other hand, playing Magical Starsign and seeing how fantastic it is just makes me now want Magical Vacation even more. dofus kamasSo there, now I'm mad again. Seriously, if you're looking for an outstanding old-school RPG experience with one of the coolest art styles ever seen in an RPG, check out Magical Starsign. It's everything a great RPG should be. The only gripe I have is that the experience ended too quickly. So now I either want Magical Vacation for the Gameboy Advance, or another sequel. One or the other! NOW!
