Marine Vet Adam Kokesh Defends Right of Dissent

At a Union Station press conference, in Washington, D.C., on June 1, 2007, Iraqi War Veteran, and ex-Marine Sgt., Adam Kokesh, defended his right to dissent from the views of the Bush-Cheney Gang with respect to the ongoing war. He's facing charges from the Marine Corps for wearing parts of his uniform at a recent anti-war demonstration. Sgt. Kokesh was introduced at the press conference by one of his attorneys, Kevin Zeese. Former Sgt. Kokesh is a member of the Iraq Veterans Against the War (ivaw.org.)

The majority of Americans forget or do not know that our country was created out of dissent, protests, and revolution.

you're a faggot, who the fuck says that in this time. Finally these guys are realizing that they're fighting for international bankers and not for freedom.

@jaydizlle a traitor to the corp is the solider that violates his oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the united states..the iraq war is an illegal undeclared war..by actively participating, you are in conflict with that oath that you have taken.

If he volunteered to go to Iraq in 04 and he got in in 99 that means that he would have had to re-enlist. If you don't like what's happening in the Marine Corps GET THE FUCK OUT. The Corps doesn't need traitors like this guy disgracing the uniform.
