We don't know if you
heard about the back round of these videos.

They were part of the entire "Winter Soldier" testimonies of a year
and a half ago. The folks with Displaced Films thought it would have a
larger impact by segmenting them into five to six minute clips. That
way people could use them in their facebook page or put them in
emails, that sort of thing. In giving them the *kind of exposure which
would make them go 'viral'. That's the hope anyway.

Vietnam Veterans Against the War/Anti-Imperialist will be posting them
to various bulletin boards, newsgroups, and such - *as a service
project. *Enjoy :

HI,

The reason why many veterans are coming back with PTSD and other
conditions is that basic training and operations for warfare were
based upon the old cold war Nato versus Warsaw pact model (fighting in
the EU in the woods or in a plain battlefield) not urban combat and
with an Eastern/Tribal culture. In 2003, the analysis of the situation
was presented to both parties in office in terms of urban warfare and
Eastern/tribal warfare, so Obama and his group cannot say they did not
know or were mis-informed.

Let me know what think.

I think its 4 tours too much....redvet
