The Vietnam Veterans Against the War organized this event called the Winter Soldier Investigation. More than 125 veterans spoke of atrocities they had witnessed and committed and this resulted in the film ‘Winter Soldier’.
This only now getting a DVD release so that people can hear their testimony.
This is history which is repeated by the war in Iraq. Now at least the Internet allows this voices to be heard while the horrors are taking place, although there is still the unfortunate sense that they are preaching to the converted.

I picked one video at random at random. There are many more. The one I watched was by Jon Turner who went to Iraq with “fuck you” in Arabic tattooed on his wrist. Turner ends his testimony with the words: “I just want to say that I’m sorry for the hate and destruction that I’ve inflicted on innocent people?? Turner says. I am no longer the monster that I once was.”
Would that he were part of the majority.
