Operation First Casualty

Iraq Veterans Against the War have taken it into their own hands to show the people of the United States the gruesome face of war. IVAW members return to uniform, this time to serve their country in different way. You have to see it to believe it: straight from the streets of Baghdad to the streets of New York City, Operation First Casualty.

Featuring IVAW members Garrett Reppenhagen & Fernando Braga, Veteran for Peace Thomas Brenson, and the indomitable spirit of New York City.

Produced by Danya Abt with Sarah Kramer and Brad Dececco.

I agree with the "elder". I've been protesting since the early 60s. This bullshit is still going on; undeclared occupations; the 9/11 lies; corporate takeover of government/US, and people are still asleep. People still believe the 9/11 lie. America, wake up. You've been bought by corporate interests around the globe. Your government is owned by AIPAC. Your children are slaves, yet you still believe theres honor in our "occupations". The world hates us because we're murderers.

Maybe you should learn the warrior ethos that every American soldier must learn.

Always place the mission first.

Never accept defeat.

Never quit.

Never leave a fallen comrade.

These people in the video are Americans. They have the right to free speech. But they were also soldiers allegedly once. They should know that the military is not a political organization. They shouldn't be using the uniform to promote agenda. That is a stain on the honor of others in uniform.
