This text was recently written by Aaron Bushnell. It demonstrates that Bushnell was entirely sane, knew his facts, was logical, coherent, and thoroughly lucid.

If Aaron Bushnell had destroyed his life fighting a war, on behalf of the empire, he’d be unquestionably celebrated as a hero. Instead he destroyed his life exposing the moral rot at the heart of empire, and our complicity in its cruelties. That’s why his memory will be attacked.
