The adage “in war, truth is the first casualty” is often attributed to the ancient Greek playwrite Aeschylus, and I think the words ring true a couple of millenia later.

Over Memorial Day weekend, members of Iraq Veterans Against the War revived Aeschylus’ saying with Operation First Casualty. Simulating sniper fire and mass detentions on the streets of Manhattan, these antiwar veterans brought a small piece of the war home, and two members of the Meerkat Media Collective were there to film it.
