CODEPINK at the Congressional Drone Convention

The Congressional Unmanned Systems Caucus (better known as the Drone Caucus) led by US Congressman Buck McKeon (R-CA) hosted a drone convention in the Rayburn Congressional building in Washington DC on September 21, 2011. The convention was a showcase display of glorified killing machines that have reshaped the entire notion of warfare, and CODEPINK had no choice but to take action and remind those at the convention what important information they were missing.

You want to know what my family does in the Army? My uncle is in the chemical field. He helped innocent civilians learn how to survive in a chemical conflict. Not American civilians, the civilians of Kuwait. My Dad is a medic. He helps the wounded. Enemy or ally, that is the law of the medic. Saving lives. I am joining as a mechanic. When a vehicle is blown up by enemy infliciton, I will go out and salvage it, repair it whatever. All beneficial things.

If we didn't fight terrorism, then who is to say they won't come here to touch down and screw with our homeland? Or those of our allies? I leave for basic training in T minus 9 hours to protect what I hold dear. Family and freedom. Go move to a communist contry and see how quick you lose all of your freedom. How many killings happen just because you aren't strong enough to live. You know nothing code pink. I am ashamed I live in a country with you in it. You don't deserve my family's service.

Actually, its the operators who push the buttons and control the drones that do the killing. I got an idea, boycott the oxygen that these operators use to sustain life, stupid oxygen! Never breathe that crap again. Also, try walking down the street, by yourself, in these countries and see how peaceful the people will treat you. Code Puke youve done it again.
