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.<br>Excerpts: <br>"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." <br>and<br>"For not speaking out, I feel like I'm betraying my battle-buddies that died." <br>Watch the video here.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://dahrjamailiraq.com/weblog/archives/informational_posting/000394.php">dahrjamailiraq.com/weblog...000394.php</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Crossposted with commentary at 'If he didn't answer the way we liked, we would shoot his youngest kid in the head': Ex-US soldier<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

thats so senseless..whats the fuckin point if theyre just gonna blast their existence away because they don't get the answer they *want*? <br><br>the establishment must empty those kids minds out i assume or.. they were already empty to begin with. <p>___________________________________________<br>"BUSHCO aren't incompetent...they are COMPLICIT."</p><i></i>

Watched Baghdad ER on HBO tonite- everyone, from common soldiers to commanders to chaplains kept calling the war, in one way or another, and often directly, "senseless." Watching that doc made me want to scream at what is going on. My son could be there-he could be one of those young men dying or losing his legs and arms. His best friend is an Army Ranger serving over there and we haven't heard from him in a while. I hope he comes home, whole and sane, but I regretfully doubt he will.<br><br>I wish they would all just lay down their arms and simply refuse to further cooperate in this "senseless" horror show. <p></p><i></i>
