TAKE THIS VIRAL LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT SPEECHES YOU WILL EVER HEAR SPOKEN PASSIONATELY, SUCCINCTLY, TRUTHFULLY. THIS YOUNG VETERAN DESERVES EVERY MEDAL AVAILABLE JUST FOR THIS POWERFUL SPEECH. SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE PLEASE.
I tried hard to be proud of my service but all i can feel is shame.
The racism you can not master the reality of the occupation it's the people it's the human beings
I seem i claim by guilt every time i see an elderly man like the one that couldn't walk and we brought by the stretcher and we called the Iraq's Police to take him away
I feel guilt every time i see a mother with her children like the one who cried hysterically and screaming that we are worst than Saddam, as we forced her from her home.
I feel guilt anytime I see a young girl, like the one I grabbed by the arm, and dragged into the street.
We are told we are fighting terrorists; the real terrorist was me and the real terrorism is in this occupation.
Racism within the military has long been an important tool to justify the destruction and occupation of another country.
It's long been used to justify the killing, subjugation and torture of another people. Racism is a vital weapon employed by this government.
It's a more important weapon than a rifle, a tank, a bomber or a battleship. It's more destructive than an artillery shell or a bunker buster, or a Tom Hawk Missile.
While all those weapons are created and owned by this government, they are harmless without people willing to use them.
Those who send us to war do not have to pull a trigger, or lab a mortal round. They don't have to fight the war, they merely have to sell the war.
They need a public who is willing to send their soldiers in the harm's way. They need soldiers who are willing to kill and be killed without question.
They can spend millions on a single bomb, but that bomb only becomes a weapon, when the ranks of the military are willing to follow orders to use it.
They can send every last soldier anywhere on earth, but there'll only be a war, as soldiers are willing to fight.
And the ruling class, the billionaires who profit from human suffering care only about expending their wealth controlling the world economy.
Understand that their power lies only in their ability to convince us that war, oppression and exploitation is in our interest.
They understand that their wealth is dependent on their ability to convince the working class to die to control the market of another country.
And, convincing us to kill and die is based on their ability to make us think that we are somehow superior.
Soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, have nothing to gain from this occupation. The vast majority of people living in the U.S. have nothing to gain from this occupation.
In fact, not only do we have nothing to gain, but we suffer more because of it.
We lose wings, and bear trauma and give our lives. Our families have to watch flag draped coffins rolling into the earth.
Millions in this country without health care, jobs or access to education, just watch over this government squander of a $ 450 million a day in this occupation.
Poor and working people in this country are sent to kill poor and working people in other country
and make the rich richer
Without racism we realize that we have more common with the Iraq people than we have with billionaires that send us to war.
We need to wake up and realize that our real enemy is not the ones living in a distant land the people whose names we don't know and cultures we don't understand.
The enemy is people we know very well and people we can identify.
The real enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable.
The enemy are the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable, the Insurance Companies who deny us Health care when it's profitable, the Banks who take away our homes when it's profitable.
Our enemies are not five thousands miles away they are right here home but if we organize and fight with our sisters and brothers, we can stop this war we can stop this government and we can create a better world!

Gordon Duff: Answering Our Troops, “Why Did You Send Us To War Over A Lie?”
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
After 9/11 it started. We raced into Afghanistan looking for terrorist groups that never existed and a terrorist mastermind who had nothing to do with an attack on America. We knew we were lying to our troops then, we know it now and we simply can’t stop, we love lying so much. Osama bin Laden, isolated in Afghanistan with a few supporters fled into the hills and died in days. There was never a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan, no Al Qaeda, a group honest experts claim never existed and still may not, and the real Osama bin Laden, the bin Laden that said Israel was responsible for 9/11, has been dead since December 2001.
Our troops and veterans have to either watch Fox news hide the facts from them or learn of the corruption tied to the 9/11 investigation, the Building 7 scandal, a scandal free of “conspiracy theory,” and the very real “dancing Israelis,” a Mossad film squad positioned to record the planes hitting the twin towers, notified well in advance, an Israel team arrested by New York police as terrorists and released and rushed back to Israel by friends in the Bush administration before the FBI could question them.
