VoteVets Says Stop Iraq with One-Handed Man

Okay, there’s more than just a one-handed man in the spot we’re about to show you, but for us that’s what stuck out, and we think that’s what they wanted because they saved him for last.

Veteran group VoteVets is raising money to put this MoveOn-supported ad on air during the Super Bowl. It’s meant to stop the escalation with the same (occasionally effective) psychological tactic 15-year-old boys use to get girls to put out in the backseat of cars: If you support escalation, you don’t support the troops.

Click the above link to help them raise money, or just watch a series of vets try making you feel real real bad. Like we said, it’s a fairly effective method.
