US soldiers

We have a powerful film this evening. We follow a group of former US soldiers who have returned from Iraq deeply affected by the experience.

As they march across America to protest against the war they reveal their own experiences of the conflict, make some disturbing allegations about military practices in Iraq and reflect on how it feels to come home.

We'll discuss some of the issues raised with the former Judge Advocate General for the US Army who is also a decorated combat veteran.

2. thanks for posting. I just watched it

One of the guys on this clip, Michael Blake, I watched rip into a freeper who was heckling him while he spoke at a Cindy SHeehan event I attended when she was touring the USA last year after Camp Casey. The freeper wouldn't shut the fuck up so he made some snarky comment about a misspelled word on her sign and the whole place burst out in laughter and she shut the hell up real fast.

you are correct about the media being different over there. When I was visiting my sister when she lived in AMsterdam I was stunned when the BBC showed a documentary highly critical of Israel. I had never seen anything like it before coming from a regular tv station!

I know these guys must get some shit. I have the utmost admiration for them.

I wasn't in Iraq but from what these guys are saying all war is the same.
