iraq veterans against the war

the iraq war has cost the lives of over 3,500 us soldiers and approximately 70,000 iraqi civilian deaths, a number that is on the conservative side, with no real way to tell how many have actually died since the war began.

the bush administration staged a phony war for personal gain. so iraq veterans who are now against the war in which they were told to fight in, staged a phony war of their own. holding imaginary guns and roughing up volunteers posing as iraqi civilians, iraq veterans against the war brought the realities of the iraq debacle to the streets of new york, in a memorial day protest that turned times square, union square and the world trade center site into combat zones. essentially, they reenacted some of the things they did while serving their country in the single most largest foreign policy blunder since the vietnam war.
