U.S. veteran: " We're committing genocide in Iraq "

A study recently commissioned has put the number of Iraqi deaths

since the war began at around 100,000.

 

 

U.S. veteran: " We're committing genocide in Iraq "

The list of critics of the U.S.'s presence in Iraq is growing each

day. Former Staff Sergeant Jimmy Massey is a 12-year Marine veteran

who's returned from Iraq, airing some very disparaging views on his

country's role in the Middle Eastern nation.

 

The American marine entered Iraq as part of the initial American

invasion in March 2003 and was witness, and in some cases took part

in, the killing of innocent civilians.

 

He says that in one 48-hour period, he witnessed the killing of some

30 civilians by U.S. gunfire at highway checkpoints.

 

What changed Massey's view of the occupation was the sheer brutality

of the American military's actions.

 

The former Staff Sergeant was horrified by what was happening and

began to speak out to his superiors about the actions undertaken by

the U.S. military.

 

Massey was bundled out of Iraq and 'diagnosed' with depression and

post-traumatic stress disorder. He was labeled as a conscientious

objector by his commanders but sought legal advice and won his

honourable discharge in December 2003.

 

As a recruiter with the American military, Massey began to question

the methods used by the Marines which targeted young people from

economically depresses areas.

 

" I'm not going to say that the Marine Corps is all flat-out lies, but

it is very misleading the way we enlist recruits. A lot of the kids

joining the military are from the 'barrios' and 'hoods,' or the poor

parts -so they're sweeping them up. "

 

Massey believes that due to the economic situation in the U.S. there

exists what can be called an 'economic draft' of young Americans into

the military.

 

" A large percentage of the so-called growth in this country is

associated with the military. The bottom line is, for the Halliburtons

and Enrons war is good, but for the poor and for all of the soldiers

coming home, especially the ones coming home wounded, there's not much

of a future. But for a lot of the kids getting ready to graduate

high-school, the military is looking pretty good because their

families have no money to send them to college. "

 

Massey's disillusionment with the war in Iraq came to head when he saw

the army the U.S. military faced. The world's strongest military

carrying the most technologically advanced weapons up against the

military of a country devastated by a decade of sanctions.

 

Massey says, " There wasn't a whole lot of direct fighting to speak of.

There were some firefights but it wasn't like major combat action…They

had no artillery; they had no air support. They were so weakened by

all the sanctions. All of their equipment was in very bad shape. Most

of their hardware was left over from the war against Iran. The first

Gulf War just devastated them. I don't think they had the will or the

opportunity to fight. "

 

Massey believes the hostility the Iraqi people have towards the

American presence has grown in direct response to the brutal methods

used by his country's troops against the entire population.

 

A study recently commissioned has put the number of Iraqi deaths since

the war began at around 100,000. Massey agrees but says it doesn't

include the number of those who died from before the war started due

to the sanctions nor those who will from the lack of medical supplies,

clean water or proper sanitations.

 

" We are committing genocide in Iraq, and that is the intention, " he says.

Political tags—such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist,

fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth—are never basic criteria.

The human race divides politically into those who want people to be

controlled and those who have no such desire.
