Team Rubicon

And here is a group of enterprising former military guys doing good. Team Rubicon (also, there's an interesting explanation of them on Ted): http://teamrubiconusa.org/

They like to hire veterans because veterans like to serve. I'm too much of a nerd to go along with that (my brain: wait, what's the incidence of volunteerism for volunteerism sake in the general population as compared to the incidence in the military? hmmmm would make a good dissertation). Nonetheless, it's interesting. And cool and adventurous. One of their friends and colleagues, a young former Marine, committed suicide. It's tragic to read about.
