I have not visited this website, although I agree with them. We shouldn't be in Iraq. Our Grandchildren will be paying for the arrogance of this administration. It is a shame all the people involved in going to Iraq will get to keep the millions they made from this war. Large corporations will keep the money they made of the hard working American citizens that were lied to about terrorist threats.

Not having review that particular groups website -- from what I've heard, it's a bunch of people who are against the way the Iraq occupation is being handled, who also happen to have first hand experience with the situation from being there.
I'd say that their first hand experience makes them more qualified to comment and express an opinion than the average person who is relying solely on news reports.

Might take a look. I've found a great many of these groups whose membership purports to be vets with combat experience are not what they purport to be. Yes, they are vets. But, some were washed out of basic training. Some were sent to rear areas and heard some gunfire. Some were kicked out with punitive discharges. My skepticism goes back to my days on the administrative staff of the Navy Hospital in Philadelphia. We had two major wings for specialty treatment of amputees and psyciatric patients. Over 99% of the amputees were wounded in Vietnam. Over 99% of the psychiatric patients had never been in Vietnam.
Still, I'd like to talk to some of these guys. For one thing, just to check their nomenclature.

I completely agree with them. They joined the military to served their country and protect democracy and freedom, not to be low paid cannon fodder for corporate profit.

It MUST be a fake website.
ALL of the Iraq vets have nothing but good things to say about their experience in Iraq.

I have no reason to go to that site since I don't support their agenda.
