MoveOn launches VideoVets.
MoveOn and VoteVets have teamed up on a video project called VideoVets, to highlight the voices of U.S. soldiers and military families:
The administration tries to call anyone who criticizes their policy in Iraq ‘anti-troop,’ but the interviews below show that ’supporting the troops’ does NOT mean supporting an endless war. The voices of these veterans and military families are missing from the debate in Washington. Together we can make sure they become a vital part of the national dialogue around ending the war.
You watch the videos and tell us what you think. Then, Academy Award winning director Oliver Stone will turn it into a TV ad-spreading this message even further.
Watch one of the videos, from Army Sgt. John Bruhns, an Iraq war veteran:

Those guys are anti-troop.
April 20th, 2007 at 9:13 pmWho will protect these guys if the administration’s goons come down on them?

you and me both, sgt… and a whole lotta others…
April 20th, 2007 at 9:23 pmThose troops are anti-troops?
April 20th, 2007 at 9:24 pmToday in a public speech bush showed a detailed map of where are soldiers were deployed throughout Baghdad.
Can someone please tell me why he shouldn’t be arrested for giving away vital military information to our enemies?
April 20th, 2007 at 9:27 pmYes, the troops are anti-troop. Ant-war = anti-troop, hence the troops are anti-troop. Oh, and traitors too.

What the f*ck is wrong with you, Jake? Seriously.
April 20th, 2007 at 10:10 pmSorry, but BucketsofBlood said to just ignore anyone who thinks I’m Jake. Tom3, if my response to your question doesn’t make sense, let me know.
April 20th, 2007 at 10:14 pmMiserable black hearted troll on #10, using another troll’s name…
April 20th, 2007 at 10:41 pmThese videos are pretty powerful. I went to the site to watch one and I ended up seeing them all.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:24 pmLoud and clear.Thanks true patriot

…if my response to your question doesn’t make sense, let me know.
Nothing you say ever makes sense.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:57 pmIt’s pathetic how you dems use traumatized soldiers to boost your own anti-troop political propaganda. Truly evil. You’ve really gone on an offensive on all fronts. Abusing our troops, defunding our troops, having public show trials of high level law enforcement officials and waging merciless partisan war on anyone working for the administration.
April 21st, 2007 at 5:18 amDoesn’t it bother you even a bit that MoveOn is funded by George Soros? It’s nothing but a foreign money operation designed to effect a political change in the U.S.A.? Not too long ago accepting foreign money for that purpose would have been called treason and personally I still think it is.

April 21st, 2007 at 7:21 amYou ever heard of Richard Mellon Scaife,buttwipe! If you haven’t take a little time, and bone up on your very own Soros.
I’m one of those troops that was so traumatized by comming home alive by the hippies, who helped to bring to an end the VietNam War.
Thank- God for them and everyone who is standing up against Bush and and his Swimmingly Good Crusade in Iraq!
Why isn’t your ass over there?Are you a bedwetter,gay,Young Republican,mother won’t let you,locked-up for Crimes against Minors? If you haven’t “Walked the Walk’,sit down and shut up!
Fantastic… the public needs to reminded that even the veterans know this war is a bad idea.
April 21st, 2007 at 7:40 am#5 – you mean to say that boy Bush is aiding and abetting the enemy? He wouldn’t do that, would he? Boy Bush’s mental state is beginning to rapidly deteriorate just like Nixon’s did before his impeachment.
April 21st, 2007 at 7:42 amWow – some really viles trolls on here today. Bet they’re all cowards. If they have time to comment here, then they have time to volunteer for Iraq. Boy Bush said he needs their sacrifice for his innoble cause.
It’s amazing that these vile trolls attack our military and then they turn around say they support our troops… nothing but lying cowardly hypocrits.

I don’t understand, Frank. What would be wrong with accepting foreign money to effect a political change in the U.S.A.? Why would that be treason? (I hope you don’t mind that I borrowed your “I was born yesterday” tactic, Frank.)
By the way, it’s a moot point, anyway. Soros is an American citizen. And there are millions of other Americans who have contributed to MoveOn.org.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:32 amFrank,
Unless you are personally benefitting monetarily from this war there is no reason left to support this administrations handling of this immoral, unjust war.
The majority of Iraqi’s want us out, the majority of the American citizenry want us out and even the kids fighting this war want us out.
So why are you so hell bent on keeping us there?
April 21st, 2007 at 10:41 amFrank Matthews, I am afraid, is clueless. He writes his comments without the benefit of knowledge.
April 21st, 2007 at 4:08 pmThen again, he fits right in there with Bush&Co.
These vids need to be on YouTube so that they can be embedded in other contexts.
April 22nd, 2007 at 1:42 amThis young man spoke with more conviction, more skill in the use of our language, and infinitely more honesty that I have seen coming from Frat Boy Bush in the six years he has spent desecrating the Office of the President.
