Josh Stieber deployed as part of "The Surge," with the infantry unit depicted in Wikileaks' "Collateral Murder" video, when he was assigned to Baghdad from Feb 2007-Apr 2008. After leaving the army as a conscientious objector in 2009, he and another veteran bicycled across the US to share their experiences and challenge assumptions about war. Stieber also coauthored a letter of reconciliation to Iraqi war victims and is working for further reconciliation in partnership with Iraqi Health Now; currently a student, he continues to speak, write, and organize.
