Marine from Oregon speaking now. "As time went on, the rules went from the person having a weapon and calling the commanding post, to we would call in suspicious activity and take them. As time went on if they were digging close to a road or had a heavy bag, we had to take them out. Later on we were told it was our call. Looking back, without anger, the rules were inappropriate." Roommate was on "suicide watch before we left for Iraq. Three or four days after we came to Iraq, he shot himself in the shower."

"I want to apologize to all the people in Iraq. I'm sorry."

4. And then they'll be abandonded by their families and their country for
speaking the truth: War is evil, unholy, pointless, and hurts everyone, even the "winners."

When will we ever learn?
