Young Veterans Fight For Barack Obama
Young Veterans Fight For Barack Obama


We follow two vets who feel so strongly about Obama's Iraq exit strategy, they've joined his campaign.


'As Far As Veterans Are Concerned, Frustration Comes To Mind'

Manny Arevalo and Phillip Nelson felt compelled to get involved after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. (4.18.08)

1. Good to see my fellow vets taking up the challenge...
...I wish I could do more than donate money and vote. The UCMJ prevents me from such.

2. Thank you, Hope And Change..
I just saw Lions For Lambs and bawled my head off. The neocons do not want us to leave Iraq and will do ANYTHING and hilary's a neocon.

5. Yes, too bad it wasn't widely
seen. Robert Redford was a stellar director as well as his acting.

I hope it's gets a resurgence of some kind like some movies do..I know I'm going to tell all my friends to please see it.
