L’aventure avait bien commenc\u00e9. La photo du Lance Corporal du Marine Corps James Black Miller, cigarette au bec dans un visage marqu\u00e9 par le combat, au si\u00e8ge de Falloujah en novembre 2004, \u00e9tait une aubaine<\/a> pour la com’ (les relations publiques, le virtualisme). La photo symbolisait le jeune homme d’Am\u00e9rique, \u00e9puis\u00e9 par le terrible combat mais assur\u00e9 que ce combat est juste et que l’Am\u00e9rique est \u00ab a force of the good<\/em> \u00bb ; John Wayne Junior \u00e0 Falloujah, avec l’avantage que James Black Miller \u00e9tait un vrai. (Wayne ne fit la guerre que dans les studios. Sa r\u00e9putation \u00e9tait faite. Lorsqu’il visita un h\u00f4pital du Corps des Marines, \u00e0 Honololu en 1944, les bless\u00e9s des batailles de Pacifique le hu\u00e8rent et l’oblig\u00e8rent \u00e0 battre en retraite, cette fois comme un vrai soldat)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tA la diff\u00e9rence de la carri\u00e8re de Wayne, celle de James Black Miller a bifurqu\u00e9. Le jeune homme a m\u00fbri comme on m\u00fbrit en Irak, tr\u00e8s vite. Miller fume beaucoup moins et il est, aujourd’hui, contre la guerre. Cela n’\u00e9tait pas dans le sc\u00e9nario. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tThe Independent<\/a> du 2 f\u00e9vrier (repris par Truthout<\/a>) nous instruit sur cette triste affaire, ou comment le syst\u00e8me, de Falloujah \u00e0 la communication, nous d\u00e9truit : \u00ab But 15 month after that photograph appeared in more than 100 US newspapers, the 21-year-old is back from Iraq, back on civvy street and he is talking about the trauma of what he experienced and the scars he still bears, physical and mental. The once unquestioning Marine is now also questioning whether US forces should be in Iraq.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The mental health experts who are treating him call his condition post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but Mr Miller describes it in more immediate language: nightmares, sleeplessness and periods when he will blank out, not knowing where he is or what he is doing. I could tell you stories about Iraq that would make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, he said. And I could tell you things that were great over there. But that would still not tell you what it was actually like. You had to be there and go through it to really understand.<\/em> ()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Mr Miller, who received an honourable discharge last November after military psychologists decided he would be a threat to himself or his colleagues if he continued to serve, said there remained a stigma about mental health issues. He told Knight Ridder Newspapers: I want people to know that PTSD is not something people come down with because they are crazy. It’s an anxiety disorder, where you’ve experienced something so traumatic that you’re close to death. Mr Miller’s photograph was taken in November 2004 during the battle for Fallujah, the insurgent stronghold. The two-week operation resulted in the deaths of up to 50 US troops, an estimated 1,200 insurgents and an unknown number of civilians.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The former Marine says he now questions the US tactics and believes troops should have been withdrawn some time ago. He said: When I was in the service my opinion was whatever the Commander-in-Chief’s opinion was. But after I got out, I started to think about it. The biggest question I have now is how you can make a war on an entire country when a certain group from that country is practising terrorism against you. It’s as if a gang from New York went to Iraq and blew some stuff up and Iraq started a war against us because of that. <\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
