Who are these "operation truth" people?
I just saw a commercial for them, but the mute was on. Are they a "solderis for Kerry" type group? I haven't heard much about them, so I'd like to know what's up. Also what are the polls saying about senior citizens? I believe a majority of them will vote for Kerry, and that could help in Florida. This election is getting crazy, and in the end I think we will all be surprised some way or the other.

6. I have heard some of their speakers
And the feel is definitely anti-Bush and that the troops were misled, and are being sent back to Iraq even if they have deveped serious psychologial problems there, as they do not get any treatment in between tours of duty.

5. Not soldiers for Kerry, per se
Some actually still feel a little kindly towards shrub. They mostly point out how unready we were to send them into combat, and to be "peace-keepers". Unfiltered, on AAR, has someone on weekly from the group - Tuesdays or Wednesdays, I think.

8. I saw one
with a soldier who had lost an arm in Iraq. Absolutely powerful. Speechless after seeing it. So it is showing here in Minnesota.
