By the way, there is also now a fantastic speech posted that Camilo Mejia gave at the Socialism 2007 conference as part of a soldiers/veterans roundtable discussion. It's posted by TraprockPeaceCtr and I highly recommend it.

Thank you very much for posting this. For people who liked this, I also recommend reading Camilo Mejia's new book, _The Road from ar Ramadi_. I learned a lot and was very inspired by it.
