WORT 89.9FM Madison · Executive Director of Veterans for Peace Discusses the Current Peace Movement

As cracks appear in the global order and powerful countries lurch toward war, what should the peace movement do? And what happened to that movement that filled streets all over the world when the U.S. invaded Iraq?

Executive Director of Veterans for Peace, Garett Reppenhagen, joins today to help answer these questions.

The son of a Vietnam Veteran, Reppenhagen served in the U.S. Army as a Cavalry/Scout Sniper in the 1st Infantry Division. Increasingly disillusioned with the US invasion of Iraq, he was honorably discharged and helped to found Iraq Veterans Against the War.
