~ Brian Berletic was a member of the U.S. Marine Corps based in Okinawa, Japan, and saw Japanese people protesting against their base's existence, he and his fellow marines couldn't be more confused: “Don't they know we are here to protect them?”

Yet after four years in the military witnessing the horrible attitude many marines had shown to the locals, including committing atrocious crimes towards them, Berletic gradually understood the resentment they had towards U.S. soldiers, and started to doubt the reasonable causes of the U.S. military bases in other parts of the world.

Berletic is now a geopolitical analyst who for years wrote articles under the pen name Tony Cartalucci, exposing U.S.-backed opposition movements in Southeast Asia.
