and what we are exposing our troops to.
Democracy Now was great at reporting on these things during Bush's term, but not so hot during Obama's reign. We see here, what happens to people exposed to depeleted uranium. The next link is the poisoning of our troops with vaccines.

The voices sound muffled at first, but give it a few minutes, it gets better

DIRECT ORDER! Poisoning American Troops With Vaccines PT.5 - YouTube

This brings us up to date with a veteran that has decided to end his life. Phil Donahue is his friend, and was fired from MSNBC because of "too many anti-war voices". So I think we can assume that is why we don't hear much about Obama's continuing campaign to wage new wars on various countries.

These are the faces of war. There is nothing humanitarian about war. NO MORE WAR

When you lie to the American people to go to war...the war is a lie. period.

The only valor in war is that of the young men and women that so believe in this Union to serve.

Agreed.

The USA should never have gone to war against Iraq.

There's a lot of media reports coming out of Iraq now. The problem is, none were allowed prior to the invasion (or if they were, it was state run media....propaganda) so, there's nothing to compare to...if it's better or worse now.

Do you think it was better before we dropped depleted uranium on them, or after?
The IED's were meant for our troops invading, they weren't there before.
Those are just a couple things that come to mind. All the lives wasted and devasatation in our wake, for what?
