I told her about chanting "Kill the people, burn the village," and how that chant still runs through my veins to this day.

Counter-recruitment organizing is the most practical way to tangibly resist United States policy that, while cutting funding for education, employment, and social programs, promotes war and empire. It exposes the relationship between, and acts to correct, both local and global injustices.

The Forgotten Wounded of Iraq

Authors: Ron Kovic

Summary:

Thirty-nine years ago, on January 20, 1968, I was shot and paralyzed from my mid-chest down during my second tour of duty in Vietnam. It is a date that I can never forget, a day that was to change my life forever.
As I now contemplate another January 20th I cannot help but think of the young men and women who have been wounded in the war in Iraq. They have been coming home now for almost three years, flooding Walter Reed, Bethesda, Brooke Army Medical Center and veterans hospitals all across the country.
