And I tried hard to be proud of my service, but all I could feel was shame. Racism could no longer mask the reality of the occupation. These were people. These were human beings. I've since been plagued by guilt anytime I see an elderly man like the one who couldn't walk, who we rolled onto a stretcher and told the Iraqi police to take him away. I feel guilt anytime I see a mother with her children like the one who cried hysterically and screamed that we were worst than Saddam as we forced her from her home. I feel guilt anytime I see a young girl, like the one I grabbed by the arm and dragged into the street.

我想為自己的服役感到驕傲,也努力去嘗試,但我能感受到的只有羞愧。種族主義再也不能夠掩飾佔領過程的真相。這是民眾,這是人類。自那以後,我一見到老人就會受內疚的煎熬,就像這位不能走路的老人,我們把他抬到擔架上,告訴伊拉克警方把他帶走。每當我看到帶著孩子的母親都感到內疚,就像這位母親,她歇斯底里地痛哭與尖叫。當將她強迫趕出家中時,其實我們比薩達姆還要殘忍。每當我見到年輕女孩都感到內疚,就像這個被我抓起胳膊拖到大街上的女孩子。

We are told we are fighting terrorists. The real terrorist was me and the real terrorism is this occupation. 

我們被告知是在反恐。然而真正的恐怖分子卻是我和這次佔領(伊拉克)才是真正的恐怖主義。

Racism within the military has long been an important tool to justify the destruction and occupation of another country. It's long been used to justify the killing, subjugation and torture of another people. Racism is a vital weapon employed by this government. It is a more important weapon than a rifle a tank, a bomber or a battleship. It's more destructive than an artillery shell or a bunker buster or a Tomahawk missile. While those weapons are created and owned by this government, they are harmless without people willing to use them. 

軍隊裡的種族主義已經成為一種長期的重要工具,被用來對破壞和占領另一個國家做辯護。它已經長期被用來辯解謀殺、鎮壓以及對另一群人的酷刑。種族主義是政府一個極其重要的武器,它比來福槍、坦克、轟炸機或戰艦都還重要。它的威力比砲彈、掩體破壞彈、戰斧飛彈還要強。儘管那些武器是政府所製造和占有的,當沒人願意使用時,它們便是無害的。

Those who send us to war do not have to pull a trigger or lob a mortar round. They do not have to fight the war. They merely have to sell the war. They need a public who is willing to send their soldiers into harm's way. They need soldiers who are willing to kill and be killed without question. 

那些把我們送入戰場的人不必扣動扳機或發射迫擊砲。他們並不需要親自奔赴戰場,他們僅僅靠戰爭就能發財。他們需要大眾自願地將戰士們送入毀滅之途。他們需要戰士服從命令,自願實施殺戮或被殺。


They can spend millions on a single bomb but that bomb only becomes a weapon, when the ranks in the military are willing to follow orders to use it. They can send every last soldier anywhere on Earth, but there'll only be a war if soldiers are willing to fight. And the ruling class, the billionaires who profit from human suffering care only about expanding their wealth, controlling the world economy. 

他們能在區區一個炸彈上花費數百萬美元,而部隊只能在軍事意志下將其應用為武器。他們能將每一個士兵送到地球的每一個角落。但如果士兵們也想要戰鬥就勢必帶來戰爭。那些靠人類苦難而獲利無數的統治富豪階級,只關心如何擴大財富以及操控世界經濟。

Understand that their power lies only in their ability to convince us that war, oppression and exploitation is in our interest. They understand that their wealth is dependent on their ability to convince the working class to die to control the market of another country. And convincing us to kill and die is based on their ability to make us think that we are somehow superior. 

我們要意識到:統治階級的權力來自(散播)迷惑,讓我們誤以為自己是熱衷於戰爭、壓迫和剝削。他們知道他們的財富依賴於對勞工階層洗腦去犧牲自己,以及控制別國的市場。他們讓我們誤以為天生就高人一等,因此,他們才能糊弄我們去殺戮或犧牲。

Soldiers, sailors, marines airmen have nothing to gain from this occupation. The vast majority of people living in the US, have nothing to gain from this occupation. In fact, not only do we have nothing to gain, but we suffer more because of it. We lose limbs, endure trauma and give our lives. Our families have to watch flag-draped coffins lowered into the earth. Millions in this country without health care, jobs or access to education, must watch as this government squander over 450 million dollars a day on this occupation. Poor and working people in this country are sent to kill poor and working people in another country to make the rich richer. 

士兵、海員、海軍、空軍,在這次佔領的過程中什麼也沒有獲得。絕大多數生活在美國的人們,在這次佔領過程中也不會獲得什麼。事實上,我們不僅一無所獲,反而將因此遭受更多苦難。我們失去四肢,忍受外傷折磨,奉獻出我們的生命。我們的家人只能眼看著被旗子覆蓋的棺材深埋地下。這個國家有數以百萬計的人們沒有醫療保險,沒有工作,更沒有受教育的機會。他們只能眼睜睜地看著政府在這次佔領過程中,每天揮霍4.5億美元以上。這個國家中的窮人、工人被派去殺害另一個國家中的窮人、工人,結果只是讓這個國家的有錢人更加富有。


Without racism soldiers would realise that they have more in common with the Iraqi people than they do with the billionaires who send us to war. I threw families onto the street in Iraq, only to come home and find families thrown onto the street in this country, in this tragic and unnecessary foreclosure crisis. 

拋棄種族主義,戰士們將會意識到:比起那些將我們送入戰場的億萬富翁們,我們與伊拉克人民有著更多的共同點。是我讓伊拉克的諸多家庭流離失所,當我回到家鄉時,卻發現我們國家的家庭同樣流離失所。這是一場悲劇,也是我們應該救贖的緊要關頭。


We need to wake up and realise that our real enemies are not in some distant land, and not people whose names we don't know and cultures we don't understand. The enemy is people we know very well and people we can identify. The enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable. The enemy is the CEO's who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable. It's the insurance companies who deny us health care when it's profitable. It's the banks who take away our homes when it's profitable. Our enemy is not 5,000 miles away. They are right here at home. If we organise and fight with our sisters and brothers, we can stop this war. We can stop this government and we can create a better world.

我們需要覺醒並認識到:我們真正的敵人並不在某些遙遠的地方,不是那些我們對其一無所知的人們。敵人是我們非常熟悉並可以識別的人。敵人是一個當有利可圖時便發動戰爭的體制。敵人是那些當有利可圖時,就解僱我們的CEO們。當有利可圖時,那些保險公司拒絕給予我們醫療保險。當有利可圖時,那些銀行拆散了我們的家庭。我們的敵人並不在5000里之外,他們就在我們的家鄉。如果我們團結起來,與大家並肩戰鬥,我們可以阻止這場戰爭,我們可以阻止這個政府。我們可以創造一個更加美好的世界。

"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy… The loss of Liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad…" James Madison

“如果暴政與壓迫來到這片土地上,將假借與外國敵人戰爭的藉口,接著家鄉自由的喪失便推卸給來自國外虛實難辨的威脅......”——詹姆斯·麥迪遜
