VideoVets: interviews with veterans

Oliver Stone and MoveOn.org have teamed up to create a 30-second TV spot focusing on “bringing the troops home” from Iraq. The project, called VideoVets will be composed by Stone, himself a veteran, from the most popular interview voted on by the viewing public. My personal favorite interview is with Sgt Sam Schultz of the Indiana National Guard. When he arrived in Iraq, he was given a white Chevy pickup truck as his primary fighting vehicle which he later modified to carry a machine gun in the bed. Says Sgt Schultz: “It’s important to end this war, because we are the wrong people to fight this war… we’re doing more harm than good.”

Thanks to the folks at Truthdig for their article about this project.
