new. to. what i came home it was amazing i was honestly one of the best friends of my life i thought i was going to pass out i was so happy. there was my wife and my daughter that i had seen right here and it was just almost too good to be true i was going to. at the same time there was only so wonderful because it's been the last year away from them in iraq which is terrible

and so when t.v. camera man came up to me and asked me some questions i told him out of the bat it's a i'm really glad to be home i'm proud of my service but i am against the war in iraq and i know that some family members and some friends weren't pleased that i said that i thought it was maybe inappropriate at the time but if every soldier comes home and they just say that they're glad to be home the nuns going to know the truth about what's going on in iraq. just. puts a. slight listed things to me because the point is happy man states will put in place a man looking at him and so plan b.

for meals one hundred says the truth it seems seems to me is you know maybe it was . the salt lake. city. police. the middle east and the salt lake city to. please. him it just seems like. a. couple of years. my whole life and whatever i've tried to do i've tried to unite the will of the spiritual work of the flesh that's a spiritual journey most spirituality which all this after you. have to deal with what you call that or not call it conscience i was never an athlon this time i never march through my letters because i didn't think it would help and then i died

after casey had been. killed for about three weeks my daughter in a coma and you know the last couple of lines that if we the people let them continue another mother will meet i have a duty to lease the least you know till people buy store. but it's the guys are stuck where you know couple said you know go back we are there it's they're fine for us so we asked for. their. because if i didn't object to some obvious injustice i couldn't live with myself i kept it in defiance at least i'm going to try alice on it and on my deathbed and say at least i tried to make it and when i found out we were getting deployed we were living in ohio so we just threw everything in a van and moved back home so now everything's kind of settled and i'm getting out

of the army. and i have to go through all this crap and figure out what's the stuff i keep what's the stuff i turn back and you know. so i can get out without paying too much money. i'm going to do the things. they are back from iraq on july twenty fourth that's the day you toss celebrates its statehood and suddenly you know there's that tons of fireworks praise and things like that it was a bad getting from home was so loud sounds that it's really jittery in a limited way that when i looked it was right. he called me one night and have said when i come home i have to do something that this war spending the year in iraq is no the true journalist i saw so much waste going on with us contractors i saw so many soldiers not having a clear mission they're just kind of wasting their time trying not to get killed

for a year and then i talked to some iraqis and they said they wanted the u.s. presence gone you just watch the movie i guess or not part of your life and he told me the collapse of so i kind of understand some of the feelings he was calling for the connection to run cooking you know he was this special you've been protesting work for decades you know and i photo i was forming this what steps would you really be our lifestyle choices were you serious you are here and here. where family members there is really doing i just said i'm going to scrape him it's hard because protesting is kind of a paradox you need to do something crazy enough to get the media and people to pay attention to you at the same time it can be so crazy that people think you're insane use of that ability he kept thinking of these ridiculous ideas and their legal things like. he had training camps out in places that are going on

a hunger strike and then finally it came to me i thought i'll walk the length of you thought it would be about five hundred miles i do it would take me about twenty seven days and we're going to publicize it and have people invite them though. yes i came to hopefully speak with people started to bait have a dialogue instead of just. chanting a slogan or waving a sign and some space in a figure of walking it's pretty normal people walk every day right tempers are not going to do this you're right it. right on to something very simple we're six non-controversial people. everything. looks still for us this is really again raised and during the vietnam era when the peaceniks were a bunch of weird people they were hippies and and into tribes and that kind of stuff and i just didn't want my son to be associated with that kind of thing but.

he really felt that our. young people to stop. the red a state that he should have the highest approval ratings for bush and for the war and it's back home state so i think this is the best place to do it and marshall is all of you to ease out of the predominant piccies he's keeps you looks like a normal utah nice not on the fringe he's not painting drawing the state of utah as a whole i think is extremely conservative and by that term i mean resistant to change speech i'm still really like george bush they like him as a guy they don't mind having a glass of milk with them or a beer if they're that kind of you talk i support president bush totally with sending all the people out to fight for our country because that's what it's all about how i support posts. and that is because he's a republican and. this is because if you have my military and what it one of

the. command had one of the new and i don't know whether it is. an eight or shad eight here. thank god don't know which one it is but one of them said he thinks liberal it is a million disease and i've won the fight now but what about my pet i disagree with him it's not disease is a genetic defect cunt diseases can be cured. i mean you starting out you want to spread the word and let people know you have no budget no influence no connections how do you do it. seriously for. a. full year. that's the to play a little. shit load it. up to.

get along. with it. recent press releases we got a website a network news which switched to invited politicians from both parties i talked to an orthopedic doctor that starts using physical trainer we publicize that we go permits who are never protesting the sit ins you know my family and friends together they all chipped in everyone can seem to use their towns in your abilities she has free movement i also went through local food you will see. let me just think anybody's ever said private but your mother cooked up pretty bad in america and i am allowed to tell you the real libel that make up one other person all day and look at it like it is very important like the president leave it

there every week like people are and. i say something look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look at long. look look look look it looks. good. part of the series of stories we're going to leave you on why not appreciate you guys and not your trash her photos her baby never been there they don't know why you look like that or they don't think i'm going to look look what i've been on the ground i thought i was pretty good. but they are here why we're here. i just think it's a communication and you can take it we've got an offer we don't support the troops you support. but i wish that you believe he'd make. amy

goodman is the host of democracy now it's really popular news program and she was coming to town to do a book signing she's going to start with three people independently one of them told her hey why you're here and so if you interview this army surgeon and she calls up that night and we were expecting you know the next day we were down there in salt lake do the interview goodman is going to announce. today ted democracy now exposed army reservist marshall thompson to spend a year in iraq war thing is a military journalist the son of a former yukon they are he now plans to walk across his home state and the rest of the nation press has more on this point it doesn't matter why we got into the war or what the partisan politics were about matters as the two soldiers to have it on average and in the any way that we can in this war one day soon as to the extent

and i would walk five hundred miles for that i would walk a thousand miles from. them. some people said some terrible things not never to my face you know but in even though they got this electronic bravery and they really say some crazy things one guy wrote in and he said that he hoped that i got run over by a truck on my walk. a lot of people said i just hope you keep walking the mexico or you leave this country we don't want you here. and we want gavan said that he wished that i had died in iraq. because then i would have been honorable. so i was about to go to utah state to help promote the walk and right before we go we had a phone call from the utah department of transportation and they told me that if i was going to walk they would arrest me for trespassing on the state highway and suddenly it was political suddenly he was against it suddenly he needed

a permit. for no other reason than that it was a peaceful but you told you that were you arrested for trying to work did i happen to be one of some was walking my we don't know why they want to just arrest him and check he says the i can't walk on the sidewalk myself because i have a reason to walk the sidewalk but would like you to do is could you tell your superiors to do we can just arbitrarily decide meet me didn't transpose the room other people. and. so little of nothing. but. i'm sorry and i was just you just in the previous month klute like war because you're trying to arrest me yeah seriously and the rest. of the story you believe the americans and the rest to walk the street wearing way over our heads we don't know what we're doing luckily my father in law is in the lawyer and so so he got in touch with the a.c.l.u.

together they were able to convince the attorney general view that. it wasn't that way right as a u.s. citizen and an iraq war veteran to walk down the street without being arrested. and his use of toilet paper and nobody and i've been proofing camelback butter and water walkie talkie so for ring tone pans and then calories like trail mix are getting good or it can get is a good start well it's the morning of the walking. and everything's pretty much ready. for good weather if nothing else this walk with me feel better make me feel like i'm doing my best right so nobody shows up i just washed in the rain all day really thought i. was. saying. to say we've run out of time the bang out of the.

sound just start running to see the old coming kindness money away and the. getting together. shyness of land again is where you get that wind in love again and again on the streets but that is a nice feeling and it's a good looking to say nothing. but by the time we are to the point where people are going to walk with me they're reading from stuff in the sky on the first test of this crazy stuff i'm going to we're. going around that corner and there is a big year for her and my business is probably one hundred fifty people which first of all how micro-grid not so hot. and that was amazing going through feel so good i feel at that moment i thought i could finally come home hey lady. it's just wonderful to see so many people here who want peace thanks so much.

tony. all right sarah walker. the blade legend says some in the states then they say no get up stand up. stand up. he said get up stand up to some sound good love those give up the by. the fun. kind of stunt show all morning and i came down from oregon i heard you could another program now say marshall was going to do this law and so i come from a long history. in the during the civil rights movement of all. vietnam. and saw the moon come. we're going to turn the whole world around.

but what can the world can't survive with with just wars going on and on no this has to happen. with to be. there is a changing tide in america and you're part of that today we're sending a mandate from the people to the government of the united states and to the representatives of utah especially the utah does not support a war we support peace and we support a plan for. this morning is to become real to the american people the military is a war america is not and then needs to change. to

get them here because my my dad is a meat on dad and the way the war affected him. made her in some. he says of violent childhood in my house and so i hope that this will be a place for some sense of unity about finding another way i see as being like gandhi's. gandhi's walk his walk to the sea this is a big deal i think it will call attention to the fact that a lot of people feel similar you know similarly to the way he feels deep down inside but maybe they're afraid to voice serve genuine or even just a small demonstrations to make the community aware that day we exist i think it will help people think. when somebody from the u.s. military a soldier. sees what's going on over there and and can tell you exactly that there's no good that's coming out of iraq. it's

a people listen to that they listen to a soldier i think his opinion is really indicative of what most soldiers think i think most soldiers think this right here you know that. that really we ought to stay the course because states we've got to put together we got to fight smarter we got to fight harder but we don't just give up and run away we can't leave these people we committed ourselves now i'd rather not we're for the you know being committed or not we're there now and we need to get committed to the cause but i would much rather die for a cause then for to just die in vain i mean we could not now all those people died in vain all it's time for us to pull to ourselves up out of bootstraps and. i mean come on wake up america we got it we got to win this thing. well. we're about a mile or so the canyon starting here and. this is dog through oregon. a

better. america saw in honoring his willingness to speak out communities about this that's why i came down oh you're on the air. yeah you're the worst nightmare. about it i'm sorry don't laugh at me don't laugh at me you know because you are and you know when you better start paying attention to programs like and what you want if you we are all there. we have found. that instruction whatever and you know what my loved one came home and you want to get back to work find children to be on the court what on earth are you doing cramping around if you want to get out and why did we have number one as a mother more than you when you don't want that her. critics angry over there i don't think i have a mother i think for president bush and what he's been for art not you and you know

me or my opinion of this guy walkin i think it's crazy i think there's an easier way to get a point across the more cautiously and then i think sixty's to be an activist an anti-war activist was considered generally. sort of disreputable not really ethical thing to do and i think that's still true that people are. protesting this is this is this is what i hear from people i talk to you know the people who protest or if you sneer you know they're dead enders they're in their pot smokers. strippers protest your ass and. estimate the.

state. space fleet she said it's a. this is. from this list that you just. listed. it. says. in the military they tell you that the people closest lower than the smiths rachel

say the same thing that this one should be. for you or against the troops and what fun is that it's exactly the opposite i mean think about the leaders in the peace sarette that turns against the war it's veterans for peace it's military families speak out it's gold star families for peace these are for organizations that are the leaders of the peace movement that are all surrounded by the military part military families speak out that's true group are worried and it. all started . with my door at eight o'clock. pm there were the military courts. for. life. i realize that it led.

to many more families. like. i keep. telling my mind. i'm looking good thank you thank you so much yeah i must be both of you i'm. the democratic candidate for congress in the first district i was honored. except the invitation to be part of my name st ashdown i'm running for u.s. senate for utah and i'm here to support marshall because i think what he's going to grade on names larry can agree with him so much so that you just got out of the army myself as i could be army for five years one of the rank of sergeant i'm here to support ourself this rule is for the cause not believe that people you know people need to be aware of what's going on the world right now great majority of

the active duty army supports this and they want more of this they don't want to put it you know send packages or posting under car or they want you to do this morning of service forty to change. the mood. just.
