Angry vets testify to horrors of killing innocent people, and the way they came to dehumanize those they were supposedly sent to "liberate."
"I was ordered multiple times by commissioned officers and noncommissioned officers to shoot unarmed civilians if their presence made me feel uncomfortable," Sgt. Jason Lemieux told a panel of lawmakers last Thursday in a packed public hearing on Capitol Hill. "These orders were given with the understanding that my immediate chain of command would protect our subordinates from legal repercussions."

    "I was ordered to kill innocent people"

    I asked my buddies, so we're here to find weapons of mass destruction, and they laughed at me, and I said, we're here to help the people, and they laughed at me, and I said, "What's our Mission? What's our Goal?" I thought we were going to find the people that did 9/11, I thought we were get these weapons of mass destruction, I thought we were going to help people. They we're like, "All we're trying to do now is make it home alive." I'm going to lead you in now for the other lies, 'cause you guys know the lies, but I bled for these lies. I watched my brothers die for these lies.

    "if one person shoots at you, kill everybody"

    you roll into Baghdad, every single big apartment building is blown up. Every single apartment building in Baghdad has been broken to the ground by artillary and airplanes bombing.

    You cannot meet someone in Iraq who has not lost a family member. Can you imagine what we would have done in America if after 9/11 everybody in America lost a family member? What would we be doing? Would we be talking about war? No. We'd be in the streets with weapons.

    People talk about, "Oh, these people killing American Soldiers in Iraq, they're terrorists." They're not terrorists, they're wearing sandals. They got an AK, and they got 14 year old boys building bombs to kill these American soldiers because we killed their family.

    So, we're done in Baghdad, we killed enough people. I was ordered to kill innocent people. We killed innocent people. When they shot at us, we shot everybody.

    We're done. Every guy I've ever served with is against this war.

    Hopefully, these men (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Tenet, etc) who have caused this great deal of pain and suffering to an innocent people will be brought to justice. Just keep telling your story and the truth will get out to the American public.
