18 thoughts on “RESIST October 6: We Are Not Your Soldiers”
It is the 6th of October, and I have not seen much orange today I must say I am disappointed and was hoping desperately awaiting. Imagine someone supporting such a cause as this detestable Anti-American group we all must read about. The actual scope and reach of this pathetic group is like a little annoying insect that will simply fly away. They plead and cry about the right and wrong of “Our Wars” I say our wars as that is what they are, everyone in this great nation owns a piece of these conflicts. The real problem is groups such as this that deny their involvement as they have all contributed to our wars whether they like it or not it’s called paying taxes oh and thanks for the funding. It is actually quite disgusting that a group would rally against our Soldiers, our Military, and our Nation when regimes such as the Taliban would cut a woman’s lips off for wearing lipstick. This group continues to rail about the so called “War Crimes” our soldiers have committed? They should ask a soldier how many lives “Our Wars” have saved. This group says our soldiers commit crimes by doing what they chose to do voluntarily it’s called something else “DUTY”. There is no draft every soldier that raises his right hand takes an oath. It is not just an oath it is a way of life that most could not imagine this is called “Selfless Service”. Soldiers are willing to sacrifice their very life in pursuit of making a difference to the nations of Iraq, and Afghanistan people so they too may have the rights and freedoms to speak and act freely in their own country this is called “honor”. U.S. Soldiers provide for the wounded, sick, children, adults, build schools, roads, airports, factories, hospitals. Now I ask of you reasonably are these the act of criminals? Sometimes along the way some very bad people attempt to murder our soldiers while they are performing their duty in these capacities. This is the unfortunate business that our soldiers must deal with, they will stand and defend what they have fostered and built, they will fight for the hope they have given to the less fortunate people of these countries and yes they use weapons of war that they are highly trained to use. This is called “Bravery”. It is really a tragic story when a few Taliban, or Al-Queda fighters meet their demise when they come in close proximity to our soldiers and attempt to do battle with them. It should be considered an honorable death to be killed in battle by the very best America has to offer a U.S. Soldier. I say to our young people, “gear up and let us go” America needs its young men and woman to stand up alright, they need to stand with our soldiers, our nation, and our resolve, if you do not then “militant Islam” may very well be your fate. It may be you that is being crushed by the very same ideal that you are supporting with your protests, and propaganda. It is equally tragic when an organization such as this attempt to corrupt our youth much like the Taliban, and Al-queda do to their young men and woman. Encouraging and aiding our enemy is all your organization is accomplishing yet the members of this group still have the right to call themselves Americans. Do not be afraid regardless of what you say about “Our Wars” regardless of what you say about “Our Soldiers” the soldiers will ALWAYS be there for you and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to change that. If you think you can “I Wish You Luck”
If people are sickened by these comments, it should be even more fuel on why people whould donate to world can’t wait. I pledged $50 in the name of a pro-war facist. I encourage others to do the same. Let your haters be your modivators!
You’re campaign is absurd in my opinion. Have you stopped to think that it is the members of United States military that fight for your freedom to make such remarks. Have you stopped to think about that? I think not. Freedom isn’t free; men and women put their lives on the line on a daily basis to protect the freedom that this country was built upon and they help bring freedom to countries that have never known what it is like. They are doing great things for this world and helping make the world a better place. They deserve nothing but our respect. You probably wouldn’t know what respect is though. I have nothing but respect for our troops and I am proud military supporter who does my part to show that their are people that care and support them. Unlike your organization who is trying to brainwash people with your BS.
Keep it up Lina!!! Don’t let them silence your message! Continue to spread these objections to our youth! Opening our children’s eyes to the moral repugnance that is our military is long overdue, and should only be a starting point to our larger agenda to rid our country of all occupations that have minor streaks of corruption or immoral conduct within them! Next, we should tell kids they shouldn’t become cops because corrupt Officers exist in our Police Stations–pull your favorite headline from the past, they are out there! Then, move on to lawyers–no explanation needed… As well, we should persuade our children to stay away from the medical profession–think about the doctor who killed our Hero (sarcasm), Michael Jackson; also how many doctors out there prescribe unnecessary treatments and procedures because they get more money? Finally, let’s keep our youth out of school completely because who hasn’t heard about an educator whose embezzled money from their District, or that has had relations with one of their students. If The World Can Wait is anything other than a mechanism for its founders to cause some controversy and try to become internet Rock Stars, I am deeply disturbed. Seriously, do you fail to see that by attempting to spread your message of how wrong US involvement in these current conflicts is, you have morphed an otherwise arguable position into a wholly prejudicial and detestable movement? With the logic of TWCW, we rule out the Military, Law Enforcement, the Legal System in general, Doctors, and Teachers. So to recap, we have: no one to protect our country overall; no one to prosecute those who break our laws; no one to protect us from law breakers; no one to help heal us when we are ill; and finally, no one to educate and enlighten us so that we can progress forward into the “more perfect Union” that our founders envisioned?! Well, thanks TWCW, I guess our nation had a good run…
I think some of you should go recruit for the Taliban, Al-queda, open your own little training camp just like old “Charlie Manson” and “David Koresh” Who exactly is trying to brainwash our youth again? Sounds familiar the methods this group is using is nothing different now is it. So much for your so called protest’s I am certainly laughing along with the rest of America at this pathetic little organization. How sorry you all must be. Its ok go ahead and drink your cool-aid do us all a favor.
It is simply history, nothing more. It seems that some can not live up to thier history. Since this is a free country and I have fought for it that pretty much gives me the right to say what I want. Call it what you will and make no mistake about it it is not hatred, its business and nothing more. “War is Politics by other means” I expect this from people that will most likely do nothing more with thier life than sit and cry on the side lines without ever giving an ounce of service to thier country. That is fine with me, we all volunteered to do a job for the American people. What is this group doing besides giving strenth to a sophisticated and armed enemy, you all realize this is helping them right? For the record those people that you are defending with your little protests and rants would kill any one of you just for nothing more than being born an American. Come tommorow I will put on my uniform like every other day there isnt any orange on my uniform, and do what our country needs however hard it may be. When it is my son, and daughter’s time I will drive them to the recruiter’s station and send them on thier way like upstanding young American’s. When they come home, I will simply say thank you for your service to our country however that may take place. You struck a nerve alright, and remember that venom you speak of. “To Support and Defend the Constitution of the United States Against All Enemies Forgien and Domestic” Protest all you like, but you shouldnt use and abuse our schools or our childred to do so. It will bring a backlash.
Do terrible things happen in war, yes! Are all our military members involved in atrocities? Not on your life. Only a few fail to serve with a legacy of honor and sacrifice. Our greatest generation fought to save the world from empire building. The next two generations fought to prevent the spread of a system that removed the personal freedoms that we enjoy in America. If you are so concerned with educating high school kids, walk into a recruiter’s office and ask questions in a respectful manner.
Well, your welcome for your freedom to be able to have this protest, coutesy of the…oh yeah, the US Military. If this were another country you might have to worry about being shot for your views, but because of my brothers and sisters who died for your right, you can go and have your happy self a protest.
Listen to this venom and hatred and think about what would happen if we left young people to the clutches of an organization armed to the teeth and dominated by these people (ie the military). It’s obvious we struck a nerve here: let’s keep striking it. HS students: don’t make the biggest mistake of your life. Don’t sign up for war crimes! No more of this: http://www.democracynow.org/2009/10/2/rethink_afghanistan_filmmaker_robert_greenwald_launches
I would rather see my children enlist in the Army with an assured tour in Afghanistan, Iraq. Than to see you exploit our schools to push your Anti- American agenda on our children in thier schools. Soldiers are doing thier job\’s, recruiters are doing thiers, you should hope not to see a bunch of soldiers protesting at your place of employment or place of learning. \”Either pick up a rifle and do your tour or shut your mouths and get onboard with our soldiers\” I am a veteran of both of those conflicts, I can say this group is a total disgrace to our veterans, our country. If someone can throw a fit over a prayer, or the Pledge of Allegiance in our schools, imagine what I will have to say about your enemy propaganda, that is what it is with its effect. Not so many years ago the FBI would be investigating people like you for anti-american sentiment or for being a communist supporter, this organization would do well to remember that. This type of organization brought our country things like Pearl Harbor,Auschwitz, and 9/11. We all would do well to remember that.
I see that he did not have the nerve to show his face and stand up for what he so strongly believes in. I know that as an American we have the right to freedom of speech.(Thanks to our military). I will be one of those people at the recuiter office that day supporting them and the job that they do daily to have the hero’s that we do supporting this country. I have had 2 of my 3 children in the military and one graduated from college. I am as proud of the 2 in the military (one Army one Marines) as I am of the one doing social work with teenagers. I have sent them to fight this war and are proud that they stood up and did the job with honor and pride in this great country.
If you took a milli second to acutally think about what you were doing, you would realize that you are shooting off half-cocked on a fools errand to get your 15 minutes of fame. In reality, you have no basis, or cause to try to undermine the very orginization that has given you the ability to form this retarded protest. If you really have a problem with all the wars, conflicts, and various military entanglements we are in, take it up with the people who started it all. THE POLITICIANS. The military always has someone higher to follow. This goes up until it reaches the President. If you dont like war, change the government. Dont try to dissolve what is protecting our country. Stop for a moment and think. If we are successful- nobody joins the militry. We have no army. We are invaded. We are no longer America. WOW! congratulations! Thats a great ending. Think before you act, and realize who you should be really grateful to. And its not someone who goes around and says YES WE CAN; its someone who gets off his ass and does it.
Chiroux never was “our soldier”. Five years in Germany and Japan. Six days (plus or minus depending on his flight) in Bagram AB. If that’s what you call a war veteran, if that’s what you’re hanging your hat on, if that’s your spokesman it’s no wonder you don’t get the war against terror.
i think that you would have a little more credibility if you had an internationally day of military resistance. it is not just this country that has a military. it seems that your aims are just to disassemble America’s military and not any other country’s and that does not make sense.
First of all your protest is B.S. I can say as a marnie corp wife that i love that 9 years ago in high school my boyfriend who is now my husband said i am going to join the Marine Corp. He is still in the Corp and a recuiter. I can say that i am kind of excited to see what happens at your stupid protest. for i will be there to help my husband. To talk to your children. Did you wake up this morning and think o my child is going to college blah blah blah… well what if thats not what they want stop puttin thinkings in your childrens head. Let them Grow up and think for themselfs. And then you can be proud to say they did something with their lifes instead of living off you for the rest of your life. The economey is crap the Military pays. So have fun At your noncents day that you call protest. I cant wait to stand against you.
