During the Veterans for Peace Convention in St. Louis, members of Iraq Veterans Against the War staged an action at the Black Expo taking place at America's Center. Counter recruiting can stop the war.

When they broke up after their cadence, non of them directly confronted the army recruiters to talk to them. Don't be scared, do what you showed up for.

I did not have any video of them speaking with the recruiters but some of them did.

I notice you are not denying what I wrote.

@jaraha There were a few guys who spoke with the Army and Marine recruiters before the action even started.

VFP is a very hard core anti-American group. They march with communists, anarchists, and jihadists. At Discover the Networks you can get details.

When Iraqi's have full control of their country so we can leave. We can't hang them out to dry, we started this thing we need to finish it. Have you ever sat down with an Iraqi in Iraq and asked them how they feel, I have. Finish it meaning ensuring that they can maintain their own security or do I need to spell that out for you too.

By your questions I can tell your young, idealistic and a band wagon jumper. Develop your own identity and see the world for what it is. People are not inatly good and when left to their own devices can do very evil things. They were greatful for our presence there and didn't want us to leave. The people who do want us to leave are Islam extreamist, and left wing nuts.

The people who do want us to leave are Islamic extremist, and left wing nuts. There people who want us there are actual Iraqis who were living under an evil dictator and who are now in the fog of war because of us. We cannot abandoned them. Read your history book, remember what happened to the south Vietnamese when we pulled out? The left was happy, but many many more people were slaughtered by the north Vietnamese.

What are you talking about? There are plenty of veterans at DU, and plenty of members of military families. And there is no condemnation of the army - for the most part there is a strong "support the troops, not the war" mentality. As for the safety of this country... well, its cute that you think by being the aggressors in an unjustified war we've contributed to this country's safety.

What really nauseates me are the tools over at the DU. Not a single one of them have ever volunteered or made a personal sacrifice for the safety of this country or its citizens and yet they think they have the right to condemn the volunteer army and call for the waterboarding of the volunteers. Every single one of those vile pukes at the DU should get down on their knees and give thanks to every member of the military, past, present and future. Nothing more than cowards and traitors at the DU.
