He’s responding to Senator #MarkwayneMullin talking on TV about “the smell of war,” even though Mullin has never served in combat. Goldsmith says that phrase is not political theater. For veterans it is tied to trauma, memory, and experiences that stay with people for life. Goldsmith described one of those memories from when he was 19 in Baghdad, sent with his platoon to a trash dump in Sadr City where sewage from millions of residents pooled in more than 110 degree heat. Iraqi police had called for help recovering bodies partially buried in the dump, and his job that day was photographing what they found. He says those smells and memories can return instantly years later. Instead of just reacting online, he’s turning the outrage into action with a fundraiser and concert featuring the Dropkick Murphys on March 6 at 1 p.m. Central, streaming live at abolishice.live to support communities affected by immigration enforcement. #Veterans #CombatVeterans #DropkickMurphys AbolishICE CommunitySupport — Markwayne Mullin has a Stolen Valor problem.
