Based on extensive interviews with each of the six, the book relates why they enlisted, their experiences in training and in early missions, their tours of combat, and what has happened to them since returning home. The compelling stories of this diverse cross section of the military recount how each journey to Iraq began with the sincere desire to do good. Matthew Gutmann and Catherine Anne Lutz show how each individual's experiences led to new moral and political understandings and ultimately to opposing the war. 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011$xProtest movements$zUnited States 606 $aVeterans$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011$xProtest movements 615 0$aVeterans$xPolitical activity 676 $a956.7044/31 700 $aGutmann$b Matthew C.$f1953-$0702432 701 $aLutz$b Catherine$0792623 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459523103321 996 $aBreaking ranks$91772502 997 $aUNINA
