I tried hard to be proud of my service [00:00:00]

But all I could feel was shame [00:00:02]

Racism could no longer mask the reality of the occupation [00:00:05]

These were people these were human beings [00:00:08]

I've since been plagued by guilt any time I see an elderly man [00:00:10]

Like the one who couldn't walk [00:00:14]

Who we rolled onto a stretcher and told the Iraqi police to take him away [00:00:15]

I feel guilt anytime I see a mother with her children [00:00:19]

Like the one who cried hysterically [00:00:22]

And screamed that we're worse than Saddam [00:00:23]

As we forced her from her home [00:00:25]

I feel guilt anytime I see a young girl [00:00:27]

Like the one I grabbed by the arm and dragged into the street [00:00:30]

We were told we were fighting terrorists [00:00:34]

The real terrorist was me and the real terrorism was this occupation [00:00:37]

Racism within the military has long been an important tool [00:00:42]

To justify the destruction and occupation of another country [00:00:45]

It has long been used to justify the killing subjugation and torture of another people [00:00:48]

Racism is a vital weapon employed by this government [00:00:53]

It is a more important weapon than a rifle a tank a bomber or a battleship [00:00:56]

It is more destructive than an artillery shell or a bunker buster or tomahawk missile [00:01:01]

While all those weapons are created and owned by this government [00:01:07]

They are harmless without people willing to use them [00:01:09]

Those who send us to war do not have to pull the trigger or lob a mortar round [00:01:12]

They do not have to fight the war they merely have to sell the war [00:01:16]

They need a public who's willing to send their soldiers into harm's way [00:01:20]

They need soldiers who are willing to kill and be killed without question [00:01:23]

They can spend millions on a single bomb [00:01:27]

But that bomb only becomes a weapon when the ranks of the military are willing to follow orders to use it [00:01:29]

They can send every last soldier anywhere on Earth but there will only be a war if soldiers are willing to fight[00:01:34]
