"And I tried hard to feel proud of my service, but all I could feel was shame. Racism could no longer mask the reality of the occupation. These were people, these were human beings. I've since been plagued by guilt every time I see an elderly man, like the one who couldn't walk, who rolled onto his stretcher and told the Iraqi police to take him away. I feel guilty anytime I see a mother with her children, like the one who cried hysterically and screamed that we were worse than Saddam as we forced her from her home. I feel guilty anytime I see a young girl, like the one I grabbed by the arm and dragged into the street. We were told we were fighting terr*r ists - but the real terr*r ist was me. The real terr*r ism is the occupation." ~ Mike Prysner, former Iraq veteran, on the military crimes of the US government. Its crimes have not stopped - the US still uses occupational violence to line its pockets. Consistent military support of Is. ra*l is a blatant example of this.
