This is the point from which I could never return, And if I back down now then forever I burn. This is the point from which I could never retreat, Cause If I turn back now there can never be peace. This is the point from which I will die and succeed, Living the struggle, I know I'm alive when I bleed. From now on it can never be the same as before, Cause the place I'm from doesn't exist anymore [Immortal Technique]

Inigo Gilmore, for BBC--Excerpted from Newsnight.
Newsnight follows a group of former US soldiers who have returned from Iraq deeply affected by the experience.
As they march across America to protest, shocking interviews emerge on the indiscriminate killing of Iraqi civilians.
Veterans reveal they had been trained to see Iraqis as animals, shoot up the landscape and kill anything that moved.
Shovels and guns were carried by patrols in order to give the false impression that innocent civilians killed were actually up to no good--supposedly killed whilst digging holes for IED's.
