. . . is a threat to justice everywhere. I used to be a public defender in Texas. Now, I'm a public defender in Washington. Despite what you may have heard about Texas justice, there's just as much injustice here as there was there. And so I fight. And I rant. About justice, injustice, and life in general. (*Despite the photographic evidence below, I am not Veronica Mars. She is, in fact, smarter than me.)

I learned any number of things in my time at sportsbook West Point; the rigorous physical discipline I would need in my time as an Officer in Iraq, the foundation of knowledge in Arabic and environmental engineering that would help me contribute to the military even outside a war zone, and most importantly, the fundamental fact that on any battlefield,bet nfl in any combat zone, your best strategy is to be proactive, not reactive. When you're fighting for your life, sitting back and waiting to be attacked is not an option. Battles have to be fought and won; if we could just wait for them to be handed to us, we wouldn't be fighting in the first place.
