I served in the Army from 2001-2006 I deployed to Kuwait before the war and twice to Iraq in 2003 and 2005. I joined IVAW because I'm angry about being lied to about WMD's and other reasons for invading. I'm angry about being taken away from my family for no good reason.

No more dehumanization. No more explosive liberation.
