Publisher Description
American soldiers serve willingly. They risk their lives so the rest of us can be safe. The one small thing they ask is that they not be sent into harm’s way unless it is absolutely necessary. But after being lied to about weapons of mass destruction and about the connection between al Qaeda and Iraq; after being forced by stop-loss orders to extend their deployment; after being undertrained, underequipped, and overworked long after George Bush declared “Mission Accomplished,” these soldiers have something to say.
From his famous 2003 Oscar acceptance speech to his record-breaking documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore has been an outspoken critic of the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. But in this audiobook, Moore gives the spotlight to the real heroes of protest: the men and women who have fought in Iraq and want the American public to know how they feel about their mission and their Commander in Chief. Moore also fields letters from veterans of other wars and mothers, wives, and siblings of our soldiers in the field who also express their anger and frustration, their tears and pain, and their hopes and prayers.
Impassioned, accessible, and moving, these are letters that reveal the true hearts and minds of the men, women, and families on the front line.

“I love the concept of this book. I found it at the dollar store, but it would have been worth the full price, definitely. It is full of letters from soldiers stationed in Iraq who write to Michael Moore to tell him that they appreciate his efforts on their behalf. Not all of them completely agree with him, and it is cool to see that he printed some of those letters, too. A great perspective on our current war, at least for someone who does not totally (or at all, really) support this war.”
