At a veteran-led protest on Capitol Hill, grief and dismay reverberate over Iran war
""I'm just nervous and upset about what I know the young service members are going to be facing when they are in Iran and what they're already facing.""
""Once Iran's nuclear threat is removed for good, America and the entire world will be safer and more stable.""
Kevin Benderman recalls his traumatic deployment to Iraq as he reacts to the U.S. war with Iran. He joined over 150 veterans and military families in Washington D.C. to protest, leading to 66 arrests. The protest aimed to end the war, reflecting widespread frustration over military actions. The U.S.-Israeli campaign in Iran continues, with a ceasefire extended and peace talks planned. Concerns about the safety of deployed troops are echoed by veterans, while the White House defends military actions as necessary for national security.
