The July 16, 2005 edition of the American Perspectives program on C-SPAN features the “Freedom Fighters” panel of which I was part during the Young Republican National Conference.

The panel featured myself and several other veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. We discussed the lopsided, inaccurate view of the situation in these countries (particularly Iraq) as portrayed by popular media. I spoke mostly about my experiences as a reserve component soldier during OIF.

The video is available for download from C-SPAN.org for a limited time. I also have a copy available for download from my website. My portion of the panel is about 27 minutes in to the program. (You’ll need RealPlayer to view the video. Click the link below to download if you don’t have it already; be sure to click the “Free RealPlayer” and not the “free trial” of the paid version.)
