Veterans Are Now Training To Defend US Citizens Against Our Own State Violence – Redacted Tonight

For five days surrounding Memorial Day, veterans from all over the country converged in Tennessee for the “About-Face Action Camp,” which teaches veterans Nonviolent Direct Action, so they can better serve people’s movements, like those defending against Big Oil pipelines, or ICE raids, or white supremacist groups emboldened by Trump. The training was organized by “Iraq Veterans Against the War” or IVAW. They’re a grassroots peace organization made up of veterans and current servicemembers calling for, among other things, an end to our endless wars and militarism. In this segment, correspondent John F. O’Donnell joins Lee Camp at the desk to discuss the implications of US soldiers actively rejecting war.
