Concerned American

​

After deployments spanning 1997 to 2013 in Haiti, Iraq, and Afghanistan, John reflected on the new American tradition of military failure. All 3 operations ended in disaster. Then, bipartisan missteps during COVID alerted him to US healthcare problems with political leaders, medical leaders, and the medical industrial complex. This prompted him to write articles and books and finally to reach out to others to begin meaningful conversations for change.

Mission

Vision

Facilitate honest, respectful, rational, evidence and experienced based discussions amongst audiences. For too long our country has been polarized with leaders and citizens talking past each other. The result has been catastrophic failure in both areas. America needs a spirit of respectful discourse. Dialogue between those with opposing views is encouraged and helps all to not only grow, but to arrive an independent conclusions instead of continuing to parrot politically biased narratives. Naturally, discussions will mainly focus on those currently in power, regardless of party.
