Message to West Point

Bill Moyers

"Many of you will be heading for Iraq," said Bill Moyers in his address to West Point. "I have never been a soldier myself, never been tested under fire, never faced hard choices between duty and feeling, or duty and conscience, under deadly circumstances. I will never know if I have the courage to be shot at, or to shoot back, or the discipline to do my duty knowing the people who dispatched me to kill - or be killed - had no idea of the moral abyss into which they were plunging me. I have tried to learn about war from those who know it best: veterans, the real experts."
