Corporal Adam Kokesh thought, when he received his discharge papers in November of 2006, that he was a civilian. Then he got a letter from the Marine Corps telling him he was under investigation for wearing a partial military uniform at a political rally. On June 4, the United States Marine Corps Mobilization Command held a hearing in Kansas City, Missouri. The three-officer panel that presided over the hearing recommended a general discharge under honorable conditions for Kokesh, a step down from the honorable discharge he received last November. The day before the hearing, Truthout's Geoffrey Millard sat down with Kokesh.

  • Wow. This guy's a real powerhouse.  An important person and a first-rate patriot.

  • Green, you are cannon fodder.

    You do not uphold and defend America, you uphold and defend the elites empire and they care nothing for you. Wake up, and join your American brothers and sisters in liberty.

  • I know I know I should wake up all the way and edit my comments before I just go off on a rant using way too many commas!

  • I can't believe that Adam doesn't know that the US is a REPUBLIC! It drives me crazy to hear people talk about our "democracy". Democracy is mob rules...whatever the majority says goes, not I AM FREE AND I CHOOSE FOR ME! Unless I break a LAW, I am free to do as I please. That's what the US was founded as, A REPUBLIC, that follows the rule of law, not what ever the majority says goes. What the majority WANTS is only relevant to them in a FREE society.

    Sorry, just had to get that out. Peace!

  • whats one thing i once heard from a great friend of mine.. once a marine always a marine.. discharged or not... ?? hmm i think so.. good luck kokesh you're a good man

  • u guys know who the interviewer right ? yap another looser. this is a set up interview.

  • @Dracanon u tell that to family of the victim of 9/11 o keyyyy! i hope and pray that u'r not american.

  • Civil Affairs. Females and Pouges= IVAW

  • Kokesh? or Kerry? as we said in Nam..samo samo..they are the same..Kokesh is nothing but an opportunist selling out his brothers for his own gain..you don't protest while the troops are in the field you fools...that's what Kerry and Fonda did and more Americans died because of it!

  • For every civilian & innocent person that dies in this was you will have AT LEAST one family, that might have been on your side turn against you. So its a vicious circle. This war is unwinable unless you win the harts of the people. lets face it if you'r at war, you can expect someone to support you if you kill their family member, even if it was by "accidrnt"
