A Soldier Speaks: Zechariah
Celina R. De Leon
AlterNet
Editorial Introduction:
As of August 4, 2005, 1,821 American troops and between 22,500 and 100,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed in the war in Iraq. Domestically, the bill for the war has reached $204.6 billion.
This is the first in a continued series of profiles of some of the tens of thousands of Iraq War veterans who have come home bearing the scars of battle -- emotional and physical wounds that may never heal unless the nation pays them the attention and care that they deserve. We at AlterNet believe it is the one issue that can and must bring us all together as Americans.

good article. I also found it interesting to see some of the comments below from people who say they are also soldiers and totally disagree with him. It's hard to know, I'm sure it's a mixed bag of feelings over there. Most of the soldiers I know are glad to be over there and think we are doing the right thing.
