Another wonderful and inspiring project from my old friend David Zeiger. The similarities of Vietnam and Iraq bring back haunting stories of my three tours in Vietnam.

Great job David.

It is pretty clear to one who has not been there, that you all were doing what you were ordered to do (under rules of engagement) or what you had to do in a split second decision. War is not good when our government occupies a sovereign nation and puts our soldiers in the positions that you experienced. Howard Zinn, a noted author and professor says ‘there is no flag big enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people’.
Thanks for telling your stories, and thanks for serving in Iraq under the ideals of defending our constitution. Your stories are important to this country. We can only hope that these occupations end soon, and that we can have peace.
You may not think you are heroes, but you are outstanding Americans to come forward with your views. Don’t stop, please!

There’s no good or easy answer to this. The stories these vets tell bring back the memories of the impact on us lucky civilians during the Vietnam War — or at least those of us who only listened and advocated for peace and didn’t face the dangers of the war or the losses at war of people we loved. That was a terrible time. The last 8 years have also been terrible and there seems to be no end in sight. Iraq, Afghanistan … and where next? We shouldn’t keep on there, but what would be the fallout if we simply up and leave? We vote with hope for someone we think will find a way of ending the situation, and he gets caught in mire in ways that we can’t understand. But yes … keep on telling your experiences.

Thanks for putting this together. It was great to see these vets tell their stories and what an important story. I hope everyone that views it is able to send onto others to help spread the word. The debate really needs to happen. We may be in the midst of one of many ongoing wars if the U.S. wants control of the oil resources. How many must suffer and die, ie.vets, civilians, families, friends…

Having trouble with quality of sound/video - very choppy. Are there settings for getting better quality? Anyone else having this problem. I am using high speed cable and mac. Very happy to see this getting out!

Good work, David. Doesn’t make happy viewing but this stuff needs to be heard and debated. Liz
