Operation First Casualty: Denver
Jul 12 2007
In an effort to illuminate the true reality of the conflict in Iraq, members of Iraq Veterans Against the War engaged in a series of street theater actions around the Denver area on Wednesday, July 4. Entitled, "Operation First Casualty" (OFC) because the first casualty of war is truth, this action reenacted various aspects of life in combat in Iraq. The action was treated like a military operation with participants in full military uniform, however, no weapons were used at any time. This year's observance of Independence Day has particular significance as we are in the midst of the fifth year of a war that has claimed the lives of over 3,500 American service members and over 655,000 Iraqis. This was IVAW's fifth OFC.
