NEW YORK (Billboard) - Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Peal Jam have contributed tunes to the anti-war soundtrack for a documentary about a U.S. soldier paralyzed in Iraq.

The 30-song, two-disc album "Body of War: Songs That Inspired an Iraq War Veteran" will be released March 18 via Warner Music’s Sire Records label. All proceeds from the sale of the album will benefit Iraq Veterans Against the War.

"Body of War" focuses on Tomas Young, an Army soldier paralyzed upon arriving in Iraq. It will open on March 13 in Austin, Texas, and expand nationally in subsequent months. Talk show veteran Phil Donahue directed the film with Elaine Spiro.

The album was put together by Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, who composed the first single, "No War," specifically for the film. Pearl Jam’s live version of Bob Dylan’s "Masters of War" also graces the soundtrack.

Springsteen contributed "Devils & Dust," and Neil Young "The Restless Consumer." Other tracks include "Yo George" from Tori Amos, "Son of a Bush" from Public Enemy, and "Bushonomics" from Talib Kweli & Cornel West.

The release of Phil Donahue’s Body of War next month just happens to be the same time the traitorous neojohns Iraq Veterans Against The War will be holding the Winter Soldier redux. The purpose of both Donahue and his comrades at IVAW is to end the Iraq war by accusing all US soldiers of raping, torturing, and murdering Iraqis for sport.  The IVAW claim U.S. soldiers are encouraged to commit war crimes.

They are liars. Nothing they have said is true. Period.

IVAW says war crimes are encouraged

WATERTOWN, NY - "I was messed up in the head. It was okay for me. I laughed afterwards. We all did. It’s just the way things go."

Iraq war veteran Jon Turner said it was almost expected of him to pull the trigger on people who didn’t need to die. So he did.

"It was my decision," Turner said. "I made it. Now I have to live with the fact that I still see someone’s eyes screaming at me after I shot them."

But Turner says it wasn’t his choice to be encouraged to do it from higher ranking officers. He and three other veterans speaking out Saturday at the Different Drummer Cafe in Watertown said committing war crimes is not only the way things go, but it’s unofficial policy.

"The killing of innocent civilians is policy," veteran Mike Blake said. "It’s unit policy and it’s Army policy. It’s not official policy, but it’s what’s happens on the ground everyday. It’s what unit commanders individually encourage."

The group, part of the national organization called Iraq Veterans Against War are planning an event to be held in Washington, D.C. this coming March called "Winter Soldier" that will have veterans all speaking about war crimes they committed or witnessed during their tours of duty.

"These decisions are coming from the top down," veteran Matt Howard said. "The tactics that we use. The policies that the military engages will create situations, create dynamics, create, ultimately, atrocity."

IVAW hopes to have 100 veterans speak at the event. Once it ends, they’ll document the testimony and package it for Congress.

IVAW says it expects a number of veterans from Fort Drum to be at the event and it is hoping to get more veterans to attend and speak at the event and will help pay for any active duty soldier who wants to go and listen.

These treasonous sons of whores who’ve miraculously have had an epiphany of conscious, enough so to publically speak out about it at an anti-US military rally, haven’t ever bothered to turn themselves in to authorities over their said war crimes. Wonder why.

They are liars. Nothing they have said is true. Period.
