“…I tried hard to be proud of my “service”, but all I could feel was shame. Racism can no longer mask the reality of the occupation. These were people. These were human beings. I since have been plagued by guilt anytime I see an  elderly man, like the one who could not walk who we rolled-on on a stretcher and told the “Iraqi” police to take him away. I feel guilt anytime I see a mother with her children…I feel guilt anytime I see a young girl like the one I grabbed by the arm and dragged into the street. We were told we were fighting terrorists. The real terrorist was me and the real terrorism is this occupation. Racism within the military has long been an important tool to justify the destruction and the occupation of another country. It has long been used to justify the killing, the subjugation and torture of another people. Racism is a vital weapon employed…It is a more important weapon than a rifle, a tank, a bomber, or a battleship. It is more destructive than an artillery shell, or a bunker buster, or a tomahawk missile…without racism soldiers will realize that they have more in common with the Iraqi people than they do with the billionaires who send us to war. I threw families on to the streets in Iraq, only to come home and find families thrown out on the streets in this “country”…Our enemies are NOT 5000 miles away , they are right here at home…”
