Among to protesters was 24 year old Michael, who served four tours of combat in Afghanistan. He stood out in order to express the real voice from the soldiers in war:
"Right now, a young soldier is trying to drink away the pain that will never leave. Right now, our brothers and sisters are in the war, not just with the enemy but with themselves. Last year, more soldiers took their own lives than the enemy did,"
