Soldiers Speak Out is a powerful, first-hand testament to the reality of the military experience told entirely in the words of American veterans who have been to war and are now opposing it. We hear how they came to join the military, about their experiences in training and in war, and what led to the turning point when they decided they could no longer, in good conscience, participate in the war or keep silent. This half-hour documentary sheds light on the growing and courageous anti-war and anti-occupation movement within the military and their families, and serves as a counter-recruitment and organizing tool for activists, schools and organizations. It provides a sober view of the war in Iraq and an important counterpoint to the 'stay-the-course' rhetoric of the Bush administration.

1. Isn't it amazing?

This trailer was made over a year ago and the voices of the veterans are still being silenced. I was amazed by the lack of coverage of the anti-war rally in D.C. recently. It was lead by several dozen veterans, one carrying an upside down flag and not a peep from MSM.

2. This makes Limpbaugh's phony soldiers remark

even more thoughtless and tragic.
