"They said we'd be greeted as liberators. Obviously, that's not the case. I turn the news on and I see car bombs, suicide bombings, attacks on American troops, Iraqi troops, Iraqi civilians and it only seems to be getting worse. A rational person would have to take a look at this and say, 'You know what? As long as American troops stay there, it's going to continue.'" - JOHN BRUHNS

SGT. JOHN BRUHNS volunteered for the infantry after September 11th, 2001 to protect his country. He participated in the march to Baghdad in March 2003. During his 11 month tour in Iraq, his unit rounded up suspects and delivered them to Abu Ghraib prison. He also trained the new Iraqi military. John was combat promoted and honorably discharged in February 2005. Since then, he has spoken out against the war and testified to Congress about his experiences and his conviction that the reasons for going to war - WMDs, Al Qaeda, and liberating the Iraqi people - have all been proven false.
