For another perspective, listen to former Marine, Demetrio Perez

“Everything was geared towards killing...gungho...everybody is trying to be real gungho, and everybody was trying to act out the Marine role as being the tough devil dog, Semper Fi, recruit, and it just wasn't me. It just wasn't me.” From Change of Command.

To hear the perspective of Demetrio and five other veterans who are now conscientious objectors to war, borrow a copy of the video Change of Command, available from MCC.
