Geoff Millard has been exposed as a liar and a fraud, Google "Stolen Valor" "Millard".

Kris Goldsmith has quit IVAW because of it's overwhelming amount of corruption, harboring liars, frauds, veteran impersonators, traitors, etc. Google "Goldsmith" "Matthis Chiroux"

@IamJustinSleator try to use a little critical thinking before you speak, a soldiers duty is to defend his country not line the pockets of billionaires which is exactly whats happening in iraq and afghanistan do some research its there for all to see

I've heard in these posts, respect, understanding, and compassion. 75% of all army soldiers that served is WW2 stated that they were more afraid of killing another human being, no matter what the consequence, than they were of dying. Not only that but fear of failure was their second greatest concern.

Those are the true American soldiers I know and love. God bless the wind, the water, the earth, and the sun so that should ever they partake it will be pure and deserving of their consumption.

Its quite simple and people just don't get it.

These brave people put their lives on the line to uphold the constitution. Protect America, NOT an illegal war. An illegal invasion. The corporate masters want Iraq oil and will abuse the military to conduct their criminal behaviour.

It is the duty of every soilder who made an oath to liberty and freedom to stop this war.

i don't understand ths video. were they told they were not going to be trained to be soldiers and fight?? correct me if I am wrong but it seems they are complaining about being soldiers. were they forced somehow???

Goldsmith is a fraud. He FAKED a suicide. He did not attempt one as he likes to say. He faked having PTSD. Kris is a coward and that is what he will be remembered for.

where did i see last night, was it bill moyers {PBS}, that wonderful stand-alone voice on the TV propaganda cesspool?

1000 vet suicides every month now.

100,000 dead & millions homeless in Iraq.

May the God of each of our understanding heal their heart wounds, forgive us & give us 1/10th of our soldiers' strength & courage to STOP THIS WAR, STOP THE OCCUPATION, REBUILD WHAT WE DESTROYED IN IRAQ (WHAT *CAN* BE REBUILT) AND GIVE OUR SOLDIERS EVERYTHING WE PROMISED THEM.

Atrocities, Yes. But the lack of respect of the Muslim faith, and to de-humanize the people of the Middle East is setting back our efforts to unite the people there.

[BObama2008]

The president must condemn the crimes of religeous and racial intolerance, of people of middle eastern decent. And agree to open dialoge with their countries. People will then see a move towards peace.

I'm a veteran who lost all hope a couple years ago. Thanks for giving us hope.
