I served. Anybody who is against a war they fought in has issues. I'm proud to have fought in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Idc what the governments reasons behind it were, we were told to go and we did. I never did anything immoral or wrong so therefore I have no regrets. I would go again today If I could.

I have yet to have the honor of serving.
But the majority of the people in that group who are not phonies knew a war was going on when they joined. Heck some went a year or two after Iraq was invaded. So I have trouble finding sympathy for their cause.

If anyone has a Right to be against the Iraq War,
is those that have fought in it...
They obviously know that it was a "False Flag"...
as is the War in Afghanistan...
It is all about supporting Off Shore Big Business "OIL"
and Raw Resources...
Suggest you read: "War Is A Racket" by Gen Butler USMC (Ret) 1935 (abe.com)
I have No connection to the book...
If I had read this book prior to my enlistment
into the USMC 1968...I would have Never Enlisted...
We didn't have Troops in Vietnam in 1959...
The Tonkin Gulf Incident...Never Happened...
Real reason for the Vietnam War..."Oil in the Spratley Islands...

I am serving. I listened to the so called "winter soldiers conference." Most of the stories I heard simply did not make sense. For example one guy used a machine gun to kill somebody crossing the street, but in his story he never said he was ordered to do it, no mention of his NCOS and such. Another was a guy who simply listened to radio traffic, saying he heard a call for fire on a house and somehow he knew there were people in the house from miles away on a radio, but again he didn't mention if the troops calling the mission were under fire or why they called the mission. I could tell they were leaving key details out of their stories or didn't know what they were talking about in the first place.
Are there people who saw crimes, yes. I myself saw us personnel tried and sent to Ft. Leavenworth for crimes. But it was far from the normal. They can have their opinion, but I find them more suspect then truthful overall.

I agree with them.
I served back in 1959, during the Vietnam conflict, and after I served, I was against that military action as well.
