A View Of Iraq From A Soldier
- Speech to the "Out of Iraq" Congressional Caucus on July 19, 2005
http://mathaba.net/0_index.shtml?x=297326
By John Bruhns
I am a concerned veteran of the Iraq War. I am not an expert on the vast and wide range of issues throughout the political spectrum, but I can offer some first hand experience of the war in Iraq through the eyes of a soldier. My view of the situation in Iraq will differ from what the American People are being told by the Bush Administration. The purpose of this message is to voice my concern that we were misled into war and continue to be misled about the situation! in Iraq every day. My opinions on this matter come from what I witnessed in Iraq personally.
[....]
I was engaged actively in urban combat in the Abu Ghraib area west of Baghdad. Many of the people who were attacking me were the poor people of Iraq. They were definitely not members of Al Qaeda, left over Baath Party members, and they were not former members of Saddam's regime. They were just your average Iraqi civilian who wanted us out of their country.
On October 31st, 2003, the people of Abu Ghraib organized a large uprising against us. They launched a massive assault on our compound in the area. We were attacked with AK-47 machine guns, RPGs and mortars. Thousands of people took to the streets to attack us. As the riot unfolded before my eyes, I realized these were just the people who lived there. There were men, women, and children participating. Some of the Iraqi protesters were even carrying pictures of Saddam Hussein. My battalion fought back with everything we had and eventually shut down the uprising.
So while President Bush speaks of freedom and liberation of the Iraqi people, I find his statements are not credible after witnessing events such as these. During the violence that day I felt so much fear throughout my entire body. I remember going home that night and praying to God, thanking him that I was still alive. A few months earlier President Bush made the statement, "Bring it on" when referring to the attacks on Americans by the insurgency. To me, that felt like a personal invitation to the insurgents to attack me and my friends who desperately wanted to make it home alive.

NOTE: While some Vets like John Bruhns vent their anger at Bush and this war to creativity and activism - others, sadly, feel they have no other options left for them.
2 Iraq veterans commit suicide near Fort Hood
http://www.kvue.com/news/state/stories/080305cccakvueiraqsuicide.3c0ff23c.html
FORT HOOD, Texas — Two Fort Hood soldiers who served in Iraq have killed themselves in separate incidents in Killeen.
Officials say 24-year-old Sgt. Robert Decouteaux of Rosedale, N.Y., died Saturday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
He'd been airlifted from his home to a Temple hospital for emergency surgery, but died while doctors tried to save his life.
On Monday, 22-year-old Spc. Robert Hunt of Houston was found dead in his apartment by Killeen police.
Officers were alerted after Hunt failed to report to work.
Police say Hunt's cause of death was listed as asphyxiation.
