Is it good to have Veterans protest the Iraq war?
My vote counted. Outstanding! asked:
I often hear the remark that if there were a draft today, there would be more young people speaking out against the war, and this would bring the war to an end. But we had a draft for over 10 years during the Viet Nam war. I believe that it was the returning combat veterans who shared their stories publicly, which turned the tide and helped end that war.
Each service member who has spoken out has been followed by more war resisters who have come forward to oppose the war. They need the support of the peace movement. Their stories of conscience and war experiences shed light on the horror and illegality of the Iraq war. Their stories are similar to accounts from other wars, and will continue to be repeated unless we keep working to end the Iraq war and prevent future wars.
It wasn’t Jane Fonda who stopped the Vietnam war.

Veterans have every right, and I applaud them, for being involved in the political process. No matter what their viewpoint.
I’d rather the nation be run by veterans than our disgustingly corrupt Congress and our idiot President, exceptions for those who actually served in wartime.
The only ones support now thats true patriotism.
Absolutely! I like to see veterans protest against war. It shows they know what is what in that particular arena.

The draft dodgers and probably the ones who come home often support the veterans who complain in iraq is the kurds on tv as far as far as far as far as im concerned staying in iraq would be watching the kurds.
Any Veteran who protests war is a Traitor.
