Anyone see this yet?
"In the spring of 2007, a conference was held on the outskirts of Washington, DC. Entitled Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan, it hearkened back to the Winter Soldier testimonies held three decades ago during the Vietnam War. Of the testimonies we filmed, this one, by Iraq War vet Jon Michael Turner, was the most compelling and intense"

So I watched this and I'm angry about it. ...but not in a way that the "soldier" wanted. He discusses the things he did in Iraq including shooting unarmed people, terrorizing families, etc. THen says "I am telling you this because people need to hear what's going on over there".
Well wait a minute Mr. Turner. WHat happened to personal accountability. YOU did those things. No one held a gun to your head. You speak as if this were a pervasive problem instigated by the military when, by your own admission, these were things that your team dreamed up or perpetrated. We,, the people, need to hear about them so we can put your butt in prison, not so we can be outraged at "the man".
This guy sickens me, he's the poster child for the "not my fault" generation.
