The American people have heard from politicians, pundits, and generals, but not, up to this point, from the average boots-on-the-ground soldier.
Today, several of those boots-on-the-ground veterans will testify about the effects of the occupation in Iraq ...at the same time that Congress debates a bill extending funding for the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan through 2009.
Will these members of Iraq Veterans Against the War be treated as respected vets with an opinion based on personal experiences or treated as angry vets who disrespect their fellow troops?
Bios of the the soldiers/marines who will testify today.
