hoops. didn't get it right but. i started out as

a very conservative republican like every person in my farming community and upstate new york in the fifty's. my father was a member of the john birch society he was very opposed to the new deal labor unions catholics jews i thought. he was actually not that unusual and my dad for those attitudes to prevail. because i was a good athlete good in school and good in my church and a good boy scout of my time i was really proud of. in one thousand sixty-six as the u.s. military began ramping up its forces in vietnam brian wilson was drafted. i enlisted in the air force for a four year program to go into the army as an induction. and then i got my

orders to become an air force sure ranger officer coming. any unit of forty men. and so soon i found myself in vietnam my duty was to go and assess the success or failure of bombing missions. and in one week. we went visited five targets. the targets were inhabited fishing again. second. i defended. fishing. these villages were bombed at two hundred fifty to three hundred feet five hundred pound bomb suspension in shock to take off. so everybody needs

filesystems either dead or just about dead and they were all blocked it is burnt finish off i watched as far as i could walk before the bodies were a show thick i could walk any further and look down at my feet. and i saw a young bean means woman holding three children in her arms her eyes are opened her eyes are just staring up at i was looking at my sister. when i looked into his eyes and it was all body or was a lie and i suspect that everything i had ever been taught was a lie. my life completely radically changed. i do not know why i am even if. i was in somebody else's village nine thousand miles from my farming village in upstate new york. oh are they doing there. are we doing there.

i want before more religious that we saw the same scene then i realized i don't need to do this if these are not pct. these are mothers. these are small children. and if you elderly. they were killing villagers in villages. and calling in receipt. of heat. if. i said i was on the wrong side. this is how could this be good for you i'm on the wrong saeed. jalili story an honor society student council. all conference athlete.

did everything right. and was all wrong. why must this nation. has and its interest and its power. for the sake of a people so far away. we fight because we must fight. if we are to live in a world. where every country can shape its all the best player. in the training regime believe all these years that there are enemies out there. keep it charged to protect yourself from your names and realize we were the enemy. during bryan's four years in the air force the vietnam conflict think recently polarize the american public. on the lord and his commanders about

atrocities he had witnessed his reports were. ignored he emerged from the military . with a profound sense. to go to a country that about committing genocide. can still be with our. people . much more two of. the officers treated. people one on the fourth of july like brian run kovac received the bronze star for valor and a purple heart after being wounded leading an attack in vietnam that. even though

i was paralyzed. in many ways i see that it was a blessing in disguise i've been able to recognize. that peace is so much more important than war. and compassion respecting the lives of each and every human being how many more bombs are we going to have to drop how many more people are going to have to die we've got to profoundly change i turn in my branstad to work on art i locked my leg and yet now i'm not totally opposed this war or carrying on over there i'm struck by what they've got going on in l.a. stop telling your brothers they're the traitors stop. states wage its own official war for nearly a decade. one nine hundred seventy one former military analyst daniel ellsberg

released the pentagon. the start of. i know we were in the course of dropping many times the tonnage issue of world war two and yet i came back from vietnam understanding that there was going to be no kind of success and nothing then a bloody stale. vietnam and felt the wish should get out of concealment this information for twenty five years has now led to the deaths of fifty thousand americans and several hundred thousand vietnamese in the last few years a couple of million over twenty years of this involvement. and i think fifth the odds have been weighted in favor of secrecy the classified department of defense files revealed that since one thousand nine hundred forty five presidents truman eisenhower kennedy and johnson had misled congress and the public about unconstitutional military actions those beginning in the one nine hundred sixty s. included secret raids on cambodia laos and north vietnam richard nixon i know was

to see that much the same way and was continuing the war while presenting to the public that he was on the process of getting out and we speak of america's priorities the first priority must always be peace for america and the word. revelation of the secret pentagon documents for street protests and anger spread across the country decorated war heroes and civilians marched together protesting the unconstitutional undeclared war ask the united states has been at war under every president since nine hundred forty. ever since the end of world war two us presidents have authorized the illegal and unconstitutional wars of aggression. according to the us constitution only congress can declare war but presidents have consistently found ways to wage war without congressional approval. between one

nine hundred fifty and two thousand the us government was overthrown sixty. democratically elected governments dropped bombs on over thirty nations and attempted assassinations of over sixty four in the leaders. millions die in these undeclared wars. i was just a kid years old and i was looking at. pictures in a book. i said to myself what a crazy way try to solve it. and as the years have gone. even more bent. that seven year old. fear of communism remained at fever pitch in the early one nine hundred eighty s.

. common president reagan turned his focus to the resource rich countries of central and south america central america do directly affect the security and it will be. and central america is much closer to the united states than many of the trouble spots the concerns we knew. only three months to change the system because for one hundred years two hundred years. three dollars. for every dollar we've invested so it's been tremendous source oh then go for the. for forty years the united states received first choice on the ninety percent of nicaraguan exports in return the us government supported the dictatorship of the samosa dynasty the family used land confiscation and political repression to rule over the nicaraguan people. in.

one nine hundred seventy nine the samosa those were driven out after a long war waged by the popular sandinista party led by daniel ortega. one thousand nine hundred two in an attempt to thwart president reagan's plans to overthrow the nicaraguan government congress passed the boland amendment which prohibited u.s. military aid to the contras nineteen eighty-four daniel ortega was elected democratically the government implemented new social services for providing free education healthcare and land reform. reagan dens used ortega's socialist policies and economic aid received from the soviet union to start a covert war using the national security council the administration sent secret aid to the mercenary soldiers known as the contras. despite the

passage of the boland amendment the arming and support of the contras became the most ambitious paramilitary and political action mounted by the cia since vietnam. ortega's new sandinista government turned to the american peace activists for help and we've begun with the request. to bring people down she says look. we want people to know. their country. the state in our country. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race it's all very dramatic development only. resists i don't see how that strategy will be successful. if you sit down and

talk. the united states has always had tools to use and it's a tax on other countries. economic sanctions are are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries that you're talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the home. and we have to make rules for the rest. because without us there would be chaos and.

i knew that other u.s. americans were going to go to i were observing in the war zones we literally said thousands of people if you see the war in nicaragua they would call home and speak in their churches right all the so on reagan was forced to admit that the u.s. was actively working to overthrow ortega's democratically elected government. to gain political support to the president presented the contras as a people's democratic movement as a condition of our aid i would insist on civilian control over all military forces but no human rights abuses are tolerated that any financial corruption to be rooted out that american aid go only to those committed to democratic groups. what i want to never go to our one thousand a six i was a johnny come lately. within the first week the contras these u.s. funded terrorists attacked three charring whopper cherish each to rest early and

killed eleven. eleven compazine. i saw five of those compazine i was coming in on a horse drawn wagons to us to the rest of the cemetery and open caskets and horse drawn wagons. the main contra targets of consistently been civilian homes buses or trucks which has helped destroy any public support they may have. eight civilians were killed in this drug when ambushed by country machine gun sandinista government says that in the past six years over ten thousand civilians have been wounded kidnap. the contras also known as the nicaraguan democratic force maintained affronted by a civilian adult calero who would earlier worked as the cia informed by before we. received. what i discovered really for the first time my fish oleander stood the

pattern of us. which was to destroy people our movements and i was one of the people i now was the power it is a fact that the united states of america legal both international and domestic law. in fundamental standards of decency centers to. people all over the world and i wanted to demonstrate mine a solitary with the people and my being men opposition to the power coming out of my own country. against fear against. those things.

because its main dangers prior century. centuries. in one thousand eighty six and one nine hundred eighty seven brian m. and other veterans participated in the past more than veteran peace action teams of the past teams walked through nicaragua's war torn villages gathering proof of human rights violations by the u.s. back home terms. and so do not need to stay to assume. that noting abstract he still who made the states will work in the sound of the war in central america. anything is going to happen to you it was going to be responsible. well there's only one country that's already and it's united states. they're funding. terrorist cells so i think the terrorists from the states are responsible in the course of my sleeping with true for what we

were doing in. trying to emerge through. i met brian wilson. we were talking about the situation about what we could do to protest u.s. foreign policy and they're clearly in central america. with their own two door and. so door and all of this. it was measured her in its own people i mean i came away from their disgust to my country with doing this to poor people. saying they were. so treated myself we got talking about what are we going to do. barbara we started to say you know we know there's a school injury coming up and you. know i met brian because there were

a number of vietnam veterans who were alarmed about what was happening in central america. charlie. murphy. decided to bring it to the issues. on sunday evening president reagan urged the american people to support his aid package to the nicaraguan rebels the contras he asked for one hundred million dollars seventy million of which is military aid he called the government a cancer and nicaragua beachhead in north america and a command post for international terror you know the truth about. their fighting and. our founding fathers and the brave men and women of the french resistance we cannot turn away. is not right. it is right versus wrong. to. me because.

i was depressed the leadership. stood. up to me. both were. totally opposed to the war they talk to me. and opposition to. back. me for.

a significant. prestigious middle of the water and in protest of u.s. foreign policy in central america. the most powerful statement that i felt that i could make outside of actually some way do you know your life well then following up on that came brian and uncle george was. fast needs to have strategic objectives. brian was really determined that the objective of this fast was to change u.s. foreign policy toward nicaragua. you see people. i went to in washington is many did to support the veterans gathered steps

of the capitol and i remember the inspirational that i and others there. charlie bryan. murray george myself. they were doing something that was part of. we were talking about nicaragua and what we were doing but it was bigger than the crockery purcel south central america it was white america and of course yourself our foreign policy work and what it meant to those on the receiving . and how this was all being carried out with our tax. cuts are. so obviously over these you president last week. what congress did not. say this. is a final song. in the face of all of justice and liberty as the

fast got on to thirty five and forty days and that's approaching the time. people began dying from fast like this and although they were being monitored they were getting weaker and weaker and we were quite alarmed they were. question can come up relative to fasting is. when life could take your own. way i can to my own life if i want to want to know if my life for a. fast. approaches to. wish led to the. domestic terrorist suspects. identified five hundred solitary actions around in

states that were in concert whether. it was called conspiracy conspiracy to change. you organizing. the actions were. we were just. the move to classify the veterans fast as terrorism triggered a reaction from an unlikely source the f.b.i. agent assigned to investigate them twenty two year bureau veteran jack ryan. i was in charge of investigating for the f.b.i. . foreign counterintelligence and i get a lead that says investigate. for. their fasting on the steps of the capital jack ryan reviewed the veterans fast for life. and also

those of other u.s. now. nationwide solidarity groups in the investigation wanted to find out who was. better and fast for a wife and they were called terrorists under the sabotage statute. ryan concluded that the fasters were nonviolent and refused to investigate further his superiors put him under review the bureau just came down on me we're going to. flee with the shotgun that i was fired ten months shy of getting a pension but they came down. to those of you who voted for country i want to say i have yet to receive an explanation that speaks from a place other than beer bordering on a paranoia reminiscent of the makai. the idea that we were terrorists and.

it was it is ridiculous. in a terrorist has no regard for human life whatsoever. i don't see how that can possibly be construed as hurting someone else. if i think. they have people suffering from many things they're. sick you are. going to be sick you are a stable country so i think you has a big thing the people the ninety percent of the people they'd be happy if. that action.
