US Troops Hiding Out In Iraqi Homes

By David Swanson

A few words from U.S. troops in Iraq, all quoted in Chapter 1 of Dahr Jamail's brilliant new book "The Will to Resist: Soldiers Who refuse to Fight in Iraq and Afghanistan":

"Oh yeah, we did search and avoid missions all the time. We would go to the end of our patrol route and set up camp on the top of a bridge and use it as an over-watch position. It was a common tactic. We would just sit there and observe rather than sweep. We would call in radio checks every hour and report… Continue

The Resistors is a new film made for Under The Hood Cafe.

Casey J Porter, GI resister...

The Resistors is a new film made for Under The Hood Cafe. Now I know how I spelled "Resistors". But I did spell it that way for a reason. "...produces a voltage across its terminals that is proportional to the electric current..." They provide balance to the system. See how these Soldiers and civilians work together to create that balance and support each other were the Army fails.

This film is not available on YouTube.

The best picture and sound can be found on… Continue

I am currently writing a book and it is about the real story in Iraq the deaths and pain and real danger of the situation. I want people to know what is actually happening and also try to prevent kids from not thinking about the facts first before they join. I am a OTH discharged National Guardsman I was 11B and well I was going to declare CO status but then I was discharged cause I refused to go to Drills, but I never went to Iraq so I need for people who did to send me their stories and the reasons why they believe the war is wrong
Thanks
George

Do you know anything about the coffee house there?

Our Massachusetts GI Rights group is hoping to be assigned all of the calls that come in to the Hotline from Ft. Drum.

Any more info would be helpful.

They believe that they are all of the branches of government (judicial, legislative and executive) and not any of the above. How many times have Carlos and I been asked what I would say to the president if I had a chance. I respond that my energies do not lie in wanting to meet or focus energies on the president. My energies focus on "we the people" or in Spanish "el pueblo". Together we can. Together we will. Whether one is of the spiritual persuasion or not, that philosophy of we the people are able to unite and move mountains is a believe in the faith of humanity. We the people must unite to impeach, and, thereby, end these occupations. I bought a bumper sticker that sums it up for me "Start a Revolution. Practice your faith." Peaceful power to you Gordon....Mama Melida from Boston, Carlos' wife and Alex's and Brian's stepmama for peace...

At 12:04pm on July 4, 2007, Gordon Soderberg said…: I guess you don't know if the Veterans For Peace are active in you area? My concern is that many members disabled or not are being left out of the organization because of their location, financial or physical ability to go to meetings, events, ect. However, these same members would be active if they had alternative ways of participating.
