In March 2008, hundreds of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans gathered outside Washington, DC to talk about what they saw and did in combat. Their personal stories showed how the military occupation of a foreign country inevitably leads to war crimes, an increase in racism, dehumanization, and sexism. They also spoke of the difficulties veterans are having obtaining proper medical care, and the methods they’re using to fight back.
On this edition, Aaron Glantz and Esther Manilla bring us “Veterans Speak Out: Winter Soldier.”
