A New Year In Iraq (3 of 3)/125a.jpg

"So here are my concerns as an ex-Marine."


I interviewed four different US Soldiers and to all of them I asked the following;

1) Were you aware of Depleted Uranium (DU) use in the theatre of combat?

2) Were you notified of the experimental nature of drugs given to you before deployment to Iraq?

3) Are you aware that "Commander and Chief" Bush literally deserted for over a year during the Vietnam War?

4) Are you concerned that Bush has pushed through new laws that defy the same United States Constitution he and all soldiers have sworn to uphold?

Well I have to say that each one of the men I interviewed were visibly uncomfortable when I broached these issues. But because I prefaced it all with "as an ex-Marine and Gulf War Veteran" it made it nearly impossible for them to just stop the interview. But sadly they were largely as clueless as I was when I "served" in the Gulf.

All in all the interviews give great insight into how these guys, like myself, are little more than cannon fodder who can be experimented on and sacrificed almost as easily as their so-called "enemy."
