After having served a one year tour of duty in Iraq, 2003-2004, I have returned home fully convinced of the immorality of this war. I strongly believe it is my moral obligation to actively oppose this war, as well as help educate the American public on the futility of current U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East.

I am currently at Camp Bucca on Stop Loss orders. Ive been in for 7 years and I have done two tours in Iraq.

Infantryman that served in Iraq from August 05 - July 06

FUCK BUSH!!!!!

I'm not re-enlisting cause our military presence overseas is making America less safe, and I'm not willing to serve the interests of war profiteers.

I was discharged in August of 2002, so I dodged the Iraq bullet. After too many years of apathy I woke up and got on board.

Charlie served in the invasion of Iraq from February-May 2003. He was medically retired with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in 2005.

I served 7 months in Iraq from January to July 2004 in Baghdad and Najaf. I was wounded by an IED and was awarded a purple heart. In January 2005 I went AWOL to Canada and after almost two years of fighting to open the doors for others I was being deported so I came back in October 2006. I was discharged without a court martial because my unit was in Germany. Peace much love and most of all Resist!!!!

I served in the United States Navy from 1998-2006 as a Cryptologist. I joined the military for many of the same reasons; money for school, duty, travel, etc. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served my country, but I am honored for being a part of IVAW.

I am a 15-yr MSgt in the USAF. I spent 6 months at Camp Syverson, Balad, returning in May 08. I work in the intelligence arena. I have been against this war since the day President Bush declared victory. I have since adopted an anti-war stance in general. I feel military-might is to be used and blood should be spilt as absolute last resorts.

I served in the Michigan Army National Guard for six years as a 13B (Artilleryman) in Charlie 1-119th. I was mobilized to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to serve in Camp Delta as a prison guard.

I joined the National Guard when I was 17, in January of 2004. I knew I would need the money for college and I felt a much needed sense of discipline and direction for my life. It wasn't until the Dean of Admissions at my older brothers college asked me, "As a Soldier, What do you think about the war in Iraq?", and I had no reply, that I knew I needed to find an answer. I sought the truth; this is where the truth led me.
