Twenty nine year old Rick Reyes was born to immigrants from Mexico, and grew up in Boyle Heights area of East Los Angeles. He joined the Marine Corps and served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Now, based on his experience in Afghanistan and given President Obama’s promised troop surge, he thinks the US should at minimum rethink the Afghanistan war. In April Reyes testified to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee alongside other veterans of the Afghan war.
