Winter Soldier: Hundreds of Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan Gather to Testify in Echo of 1971 Vietnam Hearings

Hundreds of veterans and active-duty soldiers of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are gathering today for the Winter Soldier hearings. The soldiers plan to give eyewitness accounts of the occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Organized by Iraq Veterans Against the War, the gathering is modeled after the 1971 Winter Solider hearings organized by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. ...http://www.democracynow.org/2008/3/14/hundreds_of_veterans_of_iraq_and

4. Very Important about "Winter Soldiers"... please read.

The l971 Winter Soldier hearings were filmed by Vietnam Veterans Against the War. That film is probably available somewhere, (perhpas someone can link to it......

I saw a re-release of it two and a half years ago. It is a stunning series of testimonies against the horrors of war. Sickening.
Yet real, and some actual 8mm film was included at those hearings too......

11. Repeats will be available in audio /video after the 3 day forums end

according to their website.

Democracy NOW is carrying it on ch. 4907 on Dish network.

Also there is dvd Winter Soldier made when the Viet Nam vets did the same
kind of forums, in 1971.
I rented it from Netflix.

My husband and brother both were in 'Nam, were not the same after their return, and this was in a climate that was more supportive of vets than now.

I hope a lot of folks will watch the forums this week.
The Bush regime makes the Nixon era look like Sesame Street, trust me.
