Matthis Chiroux - Iraq War Veteran "A lot of people in this country feel that the US army is some place to go and make a man of yourself. I am less of a man today for having served in the US military." "Our soldiers are being trained as predators. And they are being set loose on civilian populations that never even attacked us in the first place." "The mission statement of the US Army is to "Engage and Destroy". There is no Nation building, there is no humanitarian operations. The Mission statement of the US Army is to Engage and Destroy and that is what we are doing. And when you turn that force loose on a civilian population, as we have done on Iraq and Afghanistan, it is called Genocide, and it is a war crime."
