About ER
Euphoric Reality–known to readers as simply ER–began in late 2004 as Kit Lange’s personal rant site for military news and politics. In early 2005, the case of Lt. Ilario Pantano made national news–and when his accuser showed up on ER to comment on Kit’s articles regarding the case, Kit realized she had a tiger by the tail.
Her continued investigative work on Pantano’s accuser and overall case helped vindicate Pantano, and since then Kit–together with Heidi Thiess, her co-writer from 2005-2007–was involved in breaking news on every major case of its kind, including Haditha, Hamdania, the Iron Triangle, and more. In doing so, a level of corruption has been uncovered within the military justice system that defies the Constitution our troops defend.
In late 2008, ER was redesigned to fill a very specific niche. These cases are happening every day. Troops are being charged, imprisoned without a trial, and eventually convicted of actions in combat that are necessary, ordered by superiors, and even life-or-death situations for them and their men. Former servicemen are being charged in federal court for lawful yet difficult decisions they made while on active duty years before. Veterans are even being called back to active duty so that the government may court-martial them for talking to the media about their stories after they have left the military.
ER seeks to provide the public with the truth behind not only these cases of falsely imprisoned and convicted soldiers, sailors, and Marines, but also to uncover the bigger picture at work–that the military justice system is stacked against them, filled with corrupt and dishonest men who care only about appeasement of the Left and their own careers. Feel free to peruse our research and make your own decisions based on the facts, but be prepared–what you’ll find will change your opinion forever.
