Iraq occupation Vets seize National Archives!
This is the kind of event that finally put an end to the Vietnam fiasco. The antiwar movement was really a G.I. rebellion that threatened to turn into an open insurrection.
Time to start printing up the old "Dave Rabbit" T shirts for this summer!
"The antiwar movement was really a G.I. rebellion that threatened to turn into an open insurrection."
Exactly.
Spot-on, as always.
Another Iraq vet group protested for the war just a few days ago:
No Pull-Out, Says Iraq War Vets Group
Omaha World-Herald
WASHINGTON -- Iraq war veterans from across the country carried a message April 8 to Capitol Hill -- don't pull the troops out until the mission is over.
Among the group was Carl Hartmann, a Marine corporal who has completed three Iraq tours of duty and now serves with a Reserve unit in Omaha.
Hartmann said politicians should not be micromanaging the war but listening to the commanders in the field.
"I'm not going to tell a brain surgeon how he should operate on one of his patients," he said. "I'm going to take his word for it when he tells me that he has to operate this way to make me feel better."
Hartmann and other Nebraskans joined hundreds of members of Vets for Freedom who descended on Capitol Hill as Congress heard testimony from Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker. The two reported uneven but significant progress in Iraq, an assessment that was greeted with skepticism by several Midlands lawmakers.
