Soldiers' Stories

Some American Iraqi War veterans are launching their own web site to get their stories out to the world.

"People aligned with the (Bush) administration say it's going swimmingly. It's not," Rieckhoff said. "The other side paints a picture of an entire nation in chaos. That's not an accurate picture either."

Welcome Operation Truth.

Operation Truth will educate the American public about the truth of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan from the perspective of the soldiers who have experienced them first-hand. We will provide returning veterans with national, regional, and local podiums from which they will expose the preventable hardships that they endured as a result of failures at the top levels of leadership. We intend to publicize how poorly-planned policies and approaches have manifested themselves as problems on the front lines and back at home. We will act domestically to protect our troops and to aid them in their fight to protect us. Posted by Jim at August 23, 2004 12:37 PM
