1. great list

all of them really evoked something deep (and different) in me.

I have to tell you, the Iraqi grandmom really did me in - when she asked "why did they do this to us?" over and over, I just crumpled. I felt so ashamed. I wanted to reach thru the screen and hang on to her.

4. That, and Lila collapsing in front of the White House, were the two

most difficult scenes for me (teared up). Followed closely by Lila reading her son's last letter, and the Iraqi man loading the blown up baby onto the meat wagon and shouting at the cameraman.

2. I used to vote Republican

now I will work aggressively for Dem candidates soldier.

[MrSlayer]

3. Thousand yard stare soldier talking about losing part of your soul

when you kill others.

6. That guy is so clean cut and All American looking... I could just imagine

studying for finals with someone like that in my dorm in my college days. But his eyes and face shown that he's seen a lot.

"I guess it's not so easy to conquer a country" soldier....

7. Thanks for the link...

[Lars39]

8. "If Donald Rumsfeld was here I'd ask for his resignation."

That guy got a hearty round of applause. Both times.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. That guy, and his name, actually made the news back when he

originally said this...

(on edit) I remember reading this, and that it was an enlisted guy who did NOT say this anonymously, and thought, "that guy has some balls." And my next thought was that things must be pretty fubar for people to be openly saying things like this.

[Lars39]

10. I thought he did, too.

Was he discharged over his comments? My memory's on overload from all this stuff. :shrug:

11. PeaceFresno

Was infiltrated by a cop rooting out terrorist organizations.

[progressiveBadger]

12. I saw the movie on Saturday...

and on Sunday there was an article how Peace Fresno has gotten an attorney to file charges against the cops.

But I thought the movie was full of lies! How strange.... </sarcasm>

13. The guy in Flint

You know, the stereotypical freeper type that goes off on a blistering anti-Bush tirade about decrepit conditions in his town.

"You wanna see terrorism? THIS is terrorism!"
