Proud to be an ally of the IVAW. Change doesn't come from above, it comes from below, the people, the barracks, America.

devgrusealteam6,

I don't think the IVAW point was to speak for all the troops. I think it was more along the lines of demonstrating the brutality and inhumanity of the Iraq invasion and occupation.

Oh, and breaking into homes to take people away, in the middle of the night? That doesn't sound like something peple do to survive.

Get a brain.

Great, now S. 1867 is being pushed into federal law that calls the "homeland" part of the battlefield. Basically, what the US military does abroad, they can do at home just the same.

its so odd to think that just 10 years ago, 99% of all americans were waving flags and crying for war. now, 10 years later, we have all come to our sences and are trying to end the lies. occupy wall street is going on and ive even heard of reports from tehran supporting the american protesters. i know its nothing new for a country to go through a revolution, but it seems many like minded HUMANS are feeling the same all around the world. we are on the verge of the next step in social evolution.

I do not see it as being anti-war, but rather anti-fraud.

it makes me angry that iraqi people are being called terrorists because they are defending their country, wouldnt we all do the same if we were invaded?

@Emsworker68 ok dumbass take a marketing class...the average person walking by will attribute this to the troops not the establishment thats my point, and its unfair to not put the situation into context your just showing one sick part of the movie to people and scaring them your nto reaching out to people your freaking them out, believe me if they told us to kick in a random person's door we woulda said get fucked...
