Iraq Veterans Against the Iraq War

March 13-17th,2008, 37 years after the Winter Soldier Peace Campaign, Iraq and Afghan Veterans gathered in Washington organized by the Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), for the first time since the Vietnam war, US troops are speaking out against the choices of the US Government. The Veterans presented evidence, in the form of pamphlets , pictures, and movies. Ex-Iraq/Afghan veterans are not seeking to put the military in a bad position, but to educate the public, to get more people to speak out against the Iraq war and it's injustice. Veterans seek to educate the public about modern-day events such as the Abu Ghraib prison regime and the Haditha massacre of innocent Iraqis, which are the modern day equivalent to Vietnam's My Lai massacre. Veterans are accusing higher ranking officers for the Haditha Massacre. Following the Main Article are smaller Stories of US offenses against the Civillian Population of Iraq through the eyes of US veterans. I think i can come to the conclusion that because the US seems to simply not care about civillian casualties is the reason why Civillian casualties are so high compared to actual US soldiers or 'insurgents', the actual combatants of the Iraq War.
