Iraq veterans groups forming
NEW YORK — A small but increasing number of Iraq veterans have formed or joined groups to oppose the war or to criticize how it is being fought.
The two most visible organizations — Operation Truth and Iraq Veterans Against the War — were founded last summer and via the Internet they have been growing in membership and sophistication, the New York Times reports.
“There’s strength in numbers,” Cpl. Sean Huze, who joined the U.S. Marines after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, told the Times. “By ourselves, we’re lone voices, a whisper in a swarm of propaganda out there. Combined, we can become a roar and have an impact on the issues that we care about.”
Iraq Veterans Against the War, with 150 members, seeks a quick withdrawal from Iraq, while Operation Truth, with 300 members and an e-mail list of more than 25,000 people, focuses on the day-to-day issues affecting troops and veterans.
