were engaged in in iraq the same kind of war that was being wasted against the nigger i want to be home when i was growing up in it. as a young immigrant camille mae she had joined the us military in part to pay for a college education through the g.i. bill. was a very political i read the new but i didn't really question things i had been in the military almost a year i was about to graduate from college i didn't want to put anything in jeopardy. so i said to myself i'll just go to this war. because maybe we will test scare saddam hussein out of power and come back in no time i'll go back to school and everything will be fine. my units first mission was to run the prisoner of war camp in al assad air base and there we used fear tactics that amounted to torture in order to keep prisoners to

6:45 pm
anybody to question the morality of the war and. so i lost my my moral compass you could say i was still afraid to question i was so afraid to take a stand. until i went home and i to with for alone and eventually became clear to me that i could not in good conscience continue to be a part of the war at that point i became the first combat veteran to publicly refuse to go back to war based on morality and based on my own assertion that the war was all driven. after five months area of being on the ground and being a wall and putting together a conscientious objector claim. i decided to surrender to the military. that made my case very political to the military commander. on the military installation. i was very scared of what the military would would do
6:46 pm
to me if i spoke out against a war and surrender. you may not know or maybe you do know that they still have the death penalty for the searchers in a time of war so i was really afraid of buck and i had no idea what would happen. so i made it is. so far as you know it was all the other national under the tree. which we have. the credit which we. have to. take more if you want to be a practice i didn't find obedience to authority. you she didn't order is illegal intervene in order to commit a crime don't do it. quickly found guilty. assertion.

government has increased its military budget by nearly ninety percent since two thousand and one that budget now stands at seven hundred billion dollars per year. add in health costs plus interest for more than one point five million veterans and the us is paying one trillion dollars per year for war and preparation. our government spends ten times more for citizens on average for military costs than most other industrialized nation. this increased military spending has not made the u.s. more secure home or abroad. you know let's face it the weapons corporations in america always love the enemy and they always log new instability because they're able to sell more weapons that way the pentagon says
6:49 pm
our role in america under corporate globalization will be security export which means endless war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil. minerals from africa or whatever that our job in america is going to be making weapons fighting wars and so increasingly we see communities addicted to military spending cutting the military budget just a tiny little bit corporations are saying don't do that because we're going to lay off hundreds of thousands of people before the next election will punish us if you try to cut the military budget so we're now held hostage people. in the world and say. we're not trying to. play now the way we conduct ourselves in the world makes us a lot of enemies and one thing that i think is important.
6:50 pm
in april two thousand and ten army private manning sent to wiki leaks the iraq airstrike video collateral murder which shows a u.s. helicopter down eleven on our journalists and the. leaking classified video in related documents manning was charged with espionage and abetting. it was thirty five p. . years in the military person. whoever leaked all those state department documents to the wiki leaks website is a traitor if you want to have a democracy with even some democratic front some foreign policy. was labeled as an interest and that will always be at risk because the government will always try to deter anyone from following their example. during
6:51 pm
sentencing manning apologized to the court. i'm sorry for the unintended consequences of my actions and i made these decisions i believed i was going to help people not hurt. to make democracy functional early to get the information we need we need whistleblowers who expose the truth that personally british. people who will risk their reelection are using their powers of office their powers in a corporation to effect bullshit. at dawn every sunday since february two thousand and fourteen contemporary military cemetery appears on santa monica beach in california it is an improvised protest to remind people of the costs and consequences. as an instrument of american foreign
6:52 pm
looms. there's three was right there are three. over there you can see two here those are just those are images of all the ways it wounded american and iraqi children it's a people that's the first thing they see and i think. something is touched. that you know so because nobody thinks or they think that a. unifying force. and they're not going with the threat not the deficit. it was a child taken in. this is an effort to meet him into the world i'm able to feel something. about the monster born to kill me i've been. out of. the room.
6:53 pm
and the sound of the crowd. put it takes to remember when you know you've seen it before. then it turns to used to. and on the pleas of them. to vote so that i'm a model. where that. answers come. everybody has a greater role to play the role they're playing right now people who are afraid to write right start out with a two paragraph letter to the editor and you'll see the words will start flowing people who are prayed to speak out guided by convincing a friend and then those speaking in a church and then you'll find your voice you can do it with a measure of fear because you can be very frightened but it's equally when it's
6:54 pm
cold and you've confronted your worst fears and called the society out and you said i love you enough to risk your wrath by opposing. and i didn't harm anyone if we don't willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for our sins surely we can risk some discomfort for. for pete's our lives are dependent of ours and our suffering to other human beings who are worth. but. then the question is how can you justify continuing to live as if other people don't come. along the things.
6:55 pm
6:56 pm

6:57 pm

6:58 pm
seems wrong when old rules just don't hold. any new world yet to stamp out these days to come out to play and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. stand here from us and. move along with. that armor on the right shoulder there are rather than what are the four for medicare that are. commonly used in latin but i don't touch him and you. can keep an eye on what i
