1. Please expound...

Who is he, what organization does he represent, what was the event?
It would be wonderful if this was the beginning of a new political movement.
I've grown up in the shadow of the Viet Nam vets and I can't believe so many have been conned by the right wing into believing that the protesters who called them a few names are worse than the people who sent them in the first place or who abandoned 1700 POWs to die there.

5. Vets for Peace rally at the White House

Published on Dec 31, 2016

Former soldier and Iraq veteran Michael Prysner speaking during a rally at the White House against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rally was organized by Veterans For Peace.

Too bad we don't get to see this on the evening news!
It would be so good for the general public to hear things like this.

Thanks for the post. Awesome! He speaks truth and I appreciate his tenor, it is justified.

3. From 2010 - Veterans for Peace

From the YouTube link: "Former soldier and Iraq veteran Michael Prysner speaking during a rally at the White House against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rally was organized by Veterans For Peace."

Related info: "On Thursday, December 16th 2010, snow fell as 131 people were arrested in a Civil Disobedience at the White House protesting the continuing wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan and in Iraq. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges provides an extraordinary anti-war soliloquy which is inter-cut with interview of Veterans of the recent wars and with Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the top secret Pentagon Papers."

4. +1!!! THIS

The only thing I would add is to make that fight to eliminate campaign contributions, Super PACs, Dark Money, and the Revolving Door! Let's take away the Plutocrats ability to buy our government representatives!!!
