Listen to the Troops!
Iraq took away our innocence
"When we left America we were so much, uh, we were innocent, you know? I would say Iraq took away our innocence as far as what we seen, what we went through. What we had to do and the things that we were prepared to have to do in order to maintain our security and our level of protection, uh, force protection with our unit."
"Financially I'm so far in debt that I can't even begin to start trying to climb out of it. Right now, all I can do is avoid the bill collectors. I have to avoid them , because I don't know what to tell them.
Right now I'm living on $363 a month. I've had six jobs since I came back from Iraq. I can't deal with people right now, it's too hard. My interpersonal skills with people, I can't, uh, I just can't see other people, I can't be around other people.
My financial situation is so bad I don't know how I'm going to live. I'm about to lose my house and all the stuff I do have left. I don't know where I'm going to live or if I will."
This is a transcript of an hour-long interview with a soldier who has returned from Bush's Iraq War. If you read this interview to the end you will understand the enormity of the issues covered.
