I believe you folks on the other side of the pond got more on the Iraq vets march before many of us here in the US. I found out 1st from you folk over seas, not much came through our media until your media reported it. That part of the fault lies with the American mass media which means that the bottom line is that the american public is to blame for allowing that type of media to exist in the first place. Some of us do all we can, some do what they can, some can only do something when they know about it & some don't do enough & worst, some don't do anything at all but the saddest is the many that cause & reinfource those problems & those that don't know better & believe that there can't possibly be a problem. Please don't cast us all in the same light. I have more than just walked the lines since the start of Viet Nam & my days as a DD along with many other Americans. My only wish is that there were more Americans walking that walk today. I do think though that there are more people actively against the war now than 3 years ago. Maybe this curve will continue to excellerate.
