guess i told them...:)

What's your military status?
Military family member

Where did you or your family member serve?
In the states

Why do you oppose the escalation of the Iraq War?
i have opposed this unjust and illegal war since the day gwbush strong-armed his way into the white house

What do you feel has been the biggest mistake or failure of the Iraq war?
doing it in the first place. i don't have the time to talk about everything that's been screwed up since that first colossal mistake - but basically they screwed up every damn thing.

How could this administration better support active-duty members of the military while they're overseas?
give them armored vehicles. give them armor. let them come home, bring them home, home, home

How could this administration better take care of veterans when they return?
this administration would do the world a huge solid if they stepped down from office and turned themselves in to be tried for the crimes they have committed while in.

What message would you like to tell the public about why it's so impoirtant to stop the escalation in Iraq?
there are only 2 certain outcomes to war: death, and destruction. it is wrong. let the children live, let the innocents live, and let the iraqis determine their own fate.

after reparations of course. we owe them.

Members of the current administration say that stopping the escalation means that you don't support the troops. How would you respond to that? What do you think is the best way we can support the troops and military families?
okay, let's talk about supporting the troops. being turned around and sent straight back to war without even having family time. the conditions at walter reed and undoubtedly throughout the country. cutbacks in benefits, amputees because of their war being BILLED for their signing bonuses because they didn't finish their enlistment?! depleted uranium, PTSD, our soldiers have been taught to murder and torture innocent people but the blood is on the hands of the bush admin. tell them to shut up about supporting the troops, because all THEY do is use them and kill them and abandon them.

support schmupport! the peacemongers care more for one soldier than this entire administration cares about the entire armed forces. all the troops are to them is grist for their greed mill.

How long have you been a member of MoveOn?
Over two years

We’re thinking about organizing a grassroots video project to showcase the voices and experiences of veterans and military families who oppose the escalation. We’ll match folks up with volunteers in their areas and then post a selection of videos online for people to circulate to their friends. Please tell us how you can be involved in this project.
my son was in the navy until oct 2005
