VIDEO:  The Recruiter Pt. 2: A Marine Loses Faith
 
 
Former Marine sergeant Christopher Raissi thought it was important for him to speak out as part of Iraq Veterans Against the War, precisely because he does not fit the stereotype conservative Georgians may have about anti-war protesters. In this video, Chris explains how a patriotic suburban kid who chose to enlist became disenchanted with the "Support the Troops" rhetoric.

A true patriot stands up for his country always, and for his government when it deserves it. I think Mark Twain but if not its still true.

Thanks for going overseas and sacraficing everything just to come home and do it again.

Very good job on this!
