"VFP" Veterans For Peace

[HostileNegotiator]

"Our challenge is to transform not just the way we deter and defend, but the way we conduct our daily business. Let's make no mistake: The modernization of the Department of Defense is a matter of some urgency. In fact, it could be said that it's a matter of life and death, ultimately, every American's." Donald Rumsfeld. Sept. 10, 2001. Please write your officials and demand budget reform now. They lost $2.3 trillion then $10 billion in Iraq. Stop it now.

[RovingCounter]

The anti-American nonsense spouted by many on this site is indicative of the hatred against our country by the far left. It is the same stuff that Amerca's enemies say routinely for the last 60 years at least. If not for America, freedom would not exist in the world.

[grimblebrumble17889]

@RovingCounter Dont talk so bloody stupid. Britain and France have done more for freedom in the last 300 years than the US has ever done.

Veterans for Peace

Active Duty and Vets alike, please understand your role in the military. Expendable. You don't see politicians sending their kids to war that they voted for, maybe one or two. Why didn't Bush/Clinton etc. have their kids enlist or get commissioned?

That's right, they use us, as a tool for their foreign policy and private interest.

VETS FOR PEACE 100%

[RovingCounter]

I have a copy of a page from the VFP website in which America is held up as the bad guy in the Korean War. No criticism is made of the Communists only America.

[EngrSoldier]

VFP... Cowards. Death to the Heratics!!!!

[KYBluesKY]

Death to illiterates!! ("Heretics" is not spelled with an "a", dork.)Take YOUR cowardly anger elsewhere. I'm proud to be from a military family. And equally proud to support efforts for peace.

[raouldeming]

VFP isn't for peace. It's for any American defeat it can help cause.

Right now, the top link on the VFP home page is to a website of the Communist Party.

The guy who started VFP in 1985 admits in his book, "Veterans For peace - The First Decade" that VFP was formed to support the Sandanista Marxists.

[JosvanBeek]

@raouldeming

Sandinista marxists!!! You must be a GrouchoMarxist. The 'Muchachos' were kids without a future, with no U.S. military to join and a lot of U.S. "free" market to resent. Start looking beyond FoxNews.

[RovingCounter]

Although this is nothing new in American history, it is dismaying that so many Americans can still be manipulated into supporting organizations that are in reality sympathetic to our nation's enemies. During the Cold War period we had those who chose to undermine our resistance to the Soviets, today we have likeminded groups that work for American defeat--not just in Iraq but all over the world.

[polygamous1]

they work for plutogracy defeat they seen how their once great country is been systematically robbed by the fed res how their news media is controlled by the few they had enough of false flag wars they pay with their lives for YOU to make your billions they do NOT want to spil their's or other people's blood for your benefit n then come bacvk n be treaed like dirt YOU should be ashamed of you they are the real americans who you tricked into fighting your unjust n dirty wars

[dfillingham]

Ask a Marine and he will tell you. Veterans for Peace knows more than you ever will about combat, war, peace, and the war machine. Read Maj Gen Smedley D Butler, the most decorated marine ever, who said in the 1930s - War is a racket, the few prosper and the many suffer.

[btxusa]

Excellent video! Thank you for posting it. It is time to hold those who made the disastrous decisions responsible. Our troops have done and are doing what they have sworn to do -- it's time that we voters do our part by choosing leaders who make wise choices.

[dedebiren]

'Some people spend

an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the

Marines don't have that problem' -- Ronald Reagan

[dedebiren]

We are the land of the free because we are the home of the brave. Thank you U.S. soldiers!

[DrDreLegalizeIt]

I am for a manditory civil service of some sort for all US citizens for 2 years minimum. In order to gain job experience and or a 4 year degree or PhD or Doctorate, or medical care, or lot's of other things. But only volunteers should go to war. Jailhouse recruiting is not such a bad thing in the infantry, during peace time. But, a soldier and/or officer of the law should work to preserve peace.

[AdamKokesh]

Mandatory service is slavery to the state, supports the idea of authoritarianism, promotes fascism, and is anathema to a democratic free society. I served to preserve freedom, not empower the state to enslave American citizens.

As a VFP member, thanks for the video, Tom.

[polygamous1]

only valunteers to go to war? right just create a lot of UNEMPLOYMENT the poor kids have NO prospect of work or good education n they then "VALUNTEER" into the military for you n your elitist friends to to make u r billions on their blood EVERYONE specially the elite should go to war after all they are the ones who gain from other people's sufferings look at iraq billions is made by the oil barrons n arms manufacturers but who does the fighting who gets killed n damaged for life

[Alicecbrown]

These Veterans for Peace know how they were beguiled into thinking they were fighting for freedom, when our freedoms are being taken away daily by the fascists, the war criminals, who dishonetly lied us into this war. Blessings on these guys, who hopefully, will warn the young children being lied to by the recruiters, to beware of the lies: about their schooling, which won't happen, for one thing.

[PennyPatti]

Only two candidates want no war...Peace. Ron Paul is one of them....he wants to get back to the Constitution and get our freedoms back..get rid of the police state...show me your papers..sounds like Nazi Germany

you tube Prescott Bush - nazi

he helped Hitler kill the Jewish people in Germany.

[dmharvey79]

"VFP" doesn't speak for this veteran (Afghanistan 2003-2004 / Iraq 2007) and I doubt they speak for anybody I've ever served with.

[PennyPatti]

[desertjournalonline]

Thanks, Vets for Peace, for your stance against the Iraq war and your great video letting us know who you are. To the War Hawks, I say go to sleep!

[merryberry1234]

Our great nation has been hijacked, we must get it back into the hands of the people ASAP

[semiliteratedgod]

wow @ 00:40 can a "homemade" roadside bomb do damage like that?

[wwwPNACATTACKcom]

Seek song 50 000 names from here :D

[PennyPatti]

I want to thank all of you veterans - My father lost a leg while fighting for our country and I have seen your suffering..God bless you all..

[SineadNiC]

I'm a veteran and I'm SOOO with you! Keep up the great work!!

I too swore to defend and protect the CONSTITUTION, not George W Bush or the Republican Party. I want our country back - I want the Bill of Rights back - I want the rule of law restored to America.

You guys are doing GREAT work! Thank you!

[FunkinBeatz2007]

I am with you 150%....

Peace, Apademik The Disciple

[wiskawind]

We have nothing to celebrate on July 4th as we are living under the dictatorship of King George the 4th; too ironic for me, I would feel like a hypocrite. I will spend that day in silence for all of our fallen countrymen who have died for his evil lies; I will not celebrate that day again until we once again live in a democracy. Our Forefathers are rolling in their graves for what we have allowed to happen in our country.

[IranZamin2500]

peace 4 all

[BattleofTours732]

traitors here are real heroes not the fags in that video  appealforcourage(dot)org

[JustMeCruzen]

Well done - 5 stars.

[suupercub]

rat509....YOU are the traitor! Honor your heroes by bringing them home!!

[rat509]

traitors. garbage. one star.

[wwwPNACATTACKcom]

BUSH SUPPORTERS = NAZIS

[Veteran4Peace]

How are they traitors? How is this garbage?

Do you think they're traitors to America, or traitors to the GOP/the president?

I'm seriously asking btw.

[wwwPNACATTACKcom]

Bush, Giuliani, Romney supporters are nazis and thsoe wh oknows about Hilöary agenda and lies too. Same kind of people like SS and SA nazis in 30's too.

This is not carbage. These are good vets!

[hend0815]

maybe sometimes u should do something about ur own government killing their own citiziens in NY, and nobody knows how many will die further of loung cancer because of asbestos. not to mention the soldiers still dying for killing innocents.

[wwwPNACATTACKcom]

100% TRUTH - Neocon leaders & PNAC sinister group are true enemy of the people of the United States...

[dalidog255]

Amen! My Air Force Veteran husband & D-Day Veteran father thank you ~ they did not support this war from the beginning. I thank you as 25 yr veteran Girl Scout Leader. Make the world a better place.

[sigmatel]

You have to ask yourself why nobody asks WHY 911 happened. As far as Iraq, man, that was insane and had nothing to do with 911. Basically two bad choices led to 911 imho, first keeping US soldier in Saudi Arabia after the 1st gulf war, and second our biased support of Israel and negative view of thier "enemies". We should take a balanced approach folks. THeyre both good and both bad.

[Willwen]

Spectacular - it "speaks truth to power" - all veterans should view it. "Sow justice, Reap Peace!"

[jen8933]

all americans should view it. wonder what one could do to get something like this on the msm?

i'd also like to point out that so many of the protesters are mature people (like me). at least this time they can't paint us as naive young punks who don't know anything about real life.

let's take our country back you all.

[Phantamage]

Thanks so much...
