Host Dave Stewart interviews Mike Ferner, president of Veterans for Peace. Mike Ferner discusses his experience as a Navy Corpsman in a hospital during Vietnam, and how that experience of seeing the human cost of war caused him to become a conscientious objector upon his discharge from the Navy. Mike Ferner has a website, www.mikeferner.org, and posts regular stories and political commentary. Also, www.veteransforpeace.org provides excellent and informative materials for Veterans and Citizens. Mike Ferner was in Bloomington to give a speech entitled “Beyond Iraq and Afghanistan”, drawing heavily on Martin Luther King’s 1967 speech, “Beyond Vietnam”.
