JESSE MACBETH: TESTIMONY OF A FORMER US ARMY RANGER IN IRAQ 1 OF 2
This 20 minute interview will change how you view the U.S. occupation of Iraq forever. I cannot possibly recommend this more highly. An Iraq war veteran tells of atrocities he and other fellow-soldiers committed reguarly while in Iraq. I have never seen this level of honesty from a U.S. soldier who directly participated in the slaughtering of Iraqis.
Excerpts:
"When we were doing the night raids in the houses, we would pull people out and have them all on their knees and zip-tied. We would ask the man of the house questions. If he didn't answer the way we liked, we would shoot his youngest kid in the head. We would keep going, this was our interrogation. He could be innocent. He could be just an average Joe trying to support his family. If he didn't give us a satisfactory answer, we'd start killing off his family until he told us something. If he didn't know anything, I guess he was SOL."
and
"For not speaking out, I feel like I'm betraying my battle-buddies that died." (more)
I salute this soldier- he's one of the bravest men to come forward and admit what type of shit is going down in Iraq, by American troops. He's got a conscience. Yes, the enemy also terrorizes and kills, but how are we any different? Because we rape and murder in the name of democracy and the righteous American way? God have mercy on us...
