VETERANS REENACT IRAQ PATROLS ON SANTA MONICA, CA STREETS







Bringing the streets of Iraq to Santa Monica, California. A reenactment by Iraq Veterans Against the War. Veteran Marine Sergeant Jason Lemieux served three combat tours in Iraq, including the initial invasion. In this clip he says, "American people are getting fed this notion that we're in Iraq spreading freedom and making Iraq safe for democracy, when really we're imposing a state of martial law on the people there." The reporter says, "Veteran's wearing uniforms during anti-war protests have been criticized AND some are being investigated by the military", and Sergeant Lemieux comments, "There are service members wearing their uniforms at political events and other events all around the country. The only ones who are hearing anything about it are the ones that are speaking at the political events that the administration and the Marine Corps doesn't like." That is blatantly obvious. The military and the administration ... and the media really don't make a big deal about veterans wearing their uniforms at rallies in support of Bush or his administration's policies. This sentiment about what the hell our young men and women are doing or accomplishing in Iraq must be growing among active military members. Let's support them, let's bring them home soon!
