Jessie Macbeth, a Former Army Ranger and Iraq War Veteran Tells All

This 20 minute interview will change how you view the U.S. occupation 
of Iraq forever. I cannot possibly recommend this more highly. An 
Iraq war veteran tells of atrocities he and other fellow-soldiers 
committed reguarly while in Iraq. I have never seen this level of 
honesty from a U.S. soldier who directly participated in the 
slaughtering of Iraqis.

Excerpts:

"When we were doing the night raids in the houses, we would pull 
people out and have them all on their knees and zip-tied. We would 
ask the man of the house questions. If he didn't answer the way we 
liked, we would shoot his youngest kid in the head. We would keep 
going, this was our interrogation. He could be innocent. He could be 
just an average Joe trying to support his family. If he didn't give 
us a satisfactory answer, we'd start killing off his family until he 
told us something. If he didn't know anything, I guess he was SOL."

and

"For not speaking out, I feel like I'm betraying my battle-buddies that
died."
