Veterans Speak Out in March to the Pentagon

On March 17, 2007, anti-war activists from around the country gathered near the Vietnam Memorial and marched to the Pentagon. This event, led by veterans and military families, evoked another anti-war demonstration that followed the same route almost 40 years ago when America was divided by Vietnam, and which many observers saw as a turning point in the movement against the war. Truthout's Geoffrey Millard covers this march and talks to veterans.

What a bunch of BS !! Interesting how they kept these clowns hidden from the other vets view until they got to the Pentagon. We had some very pissed Iraqi vets with us who would have liked to speak with these jerks.

Hidden? they led the march...your recon was poor...

Take a look at video at the start of the march. They had to call them to the front.While we were standing across the road from the moonbats, they were no where in sight.I also question how many were actually combat vets or even vets.

[truthout]

There are always groups trying to get their banner to the front...it takes time sometimes for the organizers to get the people they want to the front...they weren't hiding...

there were protests in new york against the US civil war for a much similar reason. northerners didn't give a damn about abolishing slavery in the south, and protested the republican lincoln who raised the abolition banner. now these turncoats want to hand a victory to genocidal fascists and barbaric terrorists. people never change.

[Softailoo5]

Yeah, that's your story and you're sticking to it.
