From Iraq Veterans against War (IVAW) presentation Winter Soldier Hearings, testimony from troops on the breakdown of the US military.

This is the third in a series of shows airing Iraq Veterans against War's Winter Soldier Hearings held from March 16 - 19 in Silver Springs, MD. This two hour expanded show surfaces issues associated with vicious hazing, stop-loss, lack of armor, lack of access to health care at the VA, and a soldier describes his attempt at suicide.

The Winter Soldier Hearings 2008, held from March 13 to 15, allowed troops and officers to tell the American People hard hitting facts about the war, what we're doing there, and why we must get our troops out of that country, why the corporations making huge profits from war must be accountable, and why the American People must call our leaders to account for this illegal war and occupation.
