1:53:06
The ignorance that we deal with with everyday people
1:53:10
'cuz they don't know - people think they know -
but you don't know.

1:53:13
I thought I knew but I didn't know.
1:53:22
I need my son.
1:53:42
God, it's tougher than I thought it was gonna be,
to be here.

1:53:47
But it's freeing also because I finally have a place
to put all my pain and all my anger

1:53:53
and to release it.
1:54:02
I guess I was tired of seeing people like Lila Lipscomb,
1:54:05
especially when, out of the 535 members of Congress,
1:54:10
only one had an enlisted son in Iraq.
1:54:18
I asked Corporal Henderson of the United States
Marine Corps to join me on Capitol Hill

1:54:22
to see how many members of Congress
1:54:24
we could convince to enlist their children
to go to Iraq.

1:54:29
- Congressman. I'm Michael Moore.
- Hey Mike, how you doin'? I'm good. John Tanner.

1:54:32
Nice to meet you.
Very nice to meet you.

1:54:35
- What are ya'all doin'?
- I'm here with our Corporal Henderson, US Marine Corps...

1:54:38
I was in the Navy years ago.
1:54:41
1968 to 72.... We had Marines guard the base.
1:54:47
- You have kids?
- Yeah.

1:54:48
Is there any way we can get them to enlist?
And go over there, and help out with the effort?

1:54:53
I have all the brochures...
1:54:55
- Well I've got two children...
- Yeah, yeah, well, see there's not many Congressman
that've got kids over there.
