Winter soldiers testify

Is this what winning a war looks like?

This is what American tax dollars pay for? This is the health care we give to veterans? This is how American soldiers are told to treat Iraqi civilians? We have been lied to.

This is the story from the soldiers' mouths.

"Somebody coming to our facility filing a claim might get $25,000 for the home that we accidentally dropped a bomb on and $2,500 for the son that was killed in that accident. And that just...[long pause] goes, goes to show the relative value...that Americans place on Iraqi lives, based on that policy that we carried out there." - Adam Kokesh, former Marine Corp sergeant
