The Christian Science Monitor's interviewed IVAW
members at Winter Soldier for an audio slideshow.
Vincent Emanuele, a former Marine who served in Iraq from
2004 to 2005, commented on why he testified:
"This is not about being unpatriotic. I think this
is about being as patriotic as you can possibly be. Being honest and
saying, 'Hey, listen, our government has been doing some bad things in
a Middle Eastern country,' and that's ok to admit that. Because if we
don't admit that, and don't learn from that, we're going to continue
down this very same path."
