anti-war handout... in the dining facility here in iraq?
yes, imagine my surprise! as i was leaving the dfac yesterday, passing the table where they usually pile stars n stripes, there were stacks of brochures for iraq veterans against the war.
it's a nice brochure, written by an iraq war vet named spc robert acosta.
the web site is optruth.org
or ivaw.net

this is getting interesting.

10. It's great to see you post again
I hope you are doing OK. I read that one of the co-founders of iraq veterans against the war went to join Cindy Sheehan. He's from a multi-generation military family and may be sent back to Iraq.

You are not only risking your butt just being there you are taking tremendous risk posting here!

22. Hey roscoeroscoe
I was just cruisin' the DU tonight without having logged in. Just a lookyloo, as I usually am. But seeing your post, I just had to log in and respond.

Just want you to know, somehow, some way, how very sincerely I wish you were home -- safe, sound. If good vibes alone could protect you, you would be cloaked head-to-toe in invisible, indestructable armor from this protective mother's thoughts for you.

Stay safe. I look forward to the day you return. Thanks so much for your post.

and to know you are safe.

I hope that the brochures were well recieved.

I hope we make an impact.
