IVAW March at the DNC

Protests against the Democratic National Convention continued Wednesday as members of Iraq Veterans Against the War led an unpermitted march to the Pepsi Center to call on Barack Obama to back an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. The march began at a concert by the rock band Rage Against the Machine sponsored by IVAW and the Alliance for Real Democracy. Rick Rowley of Big Noise Films files a report from the streets.

As a Vietnam veteran, and a member of Veterans For Peace, I totally support the efforts of the IVAW against this illegal, immoral war. Please check out my video response above. It is a song called, "The Destination," about the first officer, Lt. Ehren Watada, to refuse service in Iraq.

@poopmypants4 How would you like it if you own dad seined you up? My best friend was also the man i was to marrie. For Jasons 18th birthday his dad tolled him, he had sighed him up for the army. Jason asked for my hand the next day, be for he shipped out for training. For my 16th birthday, Jasons mom showed up at my school to tell me that Jason was killed in a road side bomb. I was just 16. He was the love of my life, be for you reply, think of what it was like for me.

@poopmypants4 One of my best friends died fiting a war we did not want. When his mom found out that I was marching, she thanked me. My friend would be hear right now if jack ass bosh had not been a liar. So befor you go calling people names, ask your self, if you had to go fit some thing you did not want to, would you? Could you?

You know, more than just 11 and 18 series see combat now. You're probably a slicksleeve and didn't know that, so the rest of us who have a combat stripe or two, or four, or six, will let it slide.

Veterans are pointed at by ar-15 and ak-47's here in this country, What is going on.

"7:23 people push us aside, forget about the war."

I am a Verterans Son and I was treated as a savage growing up, stuck in LD classes in school becasue I was a killers son, mothers sheild there daughters from dating you, your shunned out of any sport or other activity, your robbed of a childhood or a future, this is what they fight and die for, this is how we are repaid for sacrifice........

It was merely a comment to someone below me. Wait is this a mute point too? Shi* lol

[ChrisKalhoun]

The thumbs down are for making a comment with no point. Who cares how accurate the unifroms are. The point of this video has nothing to do with the accuracy of uniforms. Uniform accuracy is a mute point that doesn't even deserve discussion. Which poses the question, why am I commenting here? lol...
