Associated Press on Military Families Launch Campaign to Bring Troops Home:
The mother of a Massachusetts National Guardsman (search) stationed in Iraq since March, Schuman has joined others — longtime pacifists, military veterans and parents with children on extended deployments — in a campaign to bring them home.
"Our soldiers are demoralized. They are fighting an illegal and unjustified war," Schuman said at a news conference Wednesday introducing the campaign, Bring Them Home Now.
Through my involvement with Veterans for Common Sense, I've met some of the folks behind this campaign on several occasions, particularly individuals from Military Families Speak Out and Veterans for Peace. They're not flag-burning anti-American hystericals. In fact, unlike the chickenhawk brigade, many of these folks have either worn a uniform or have immediate family members currently serving. They simply disagree with the Administration on this war and have committed the crime of making their dissatisfaction known.
But you can bet the chickenhawks will let loose with their "traitor" talk once this one hits their radarscreens. Of course while they're doing so, they'll continue to sit on their asses, watching Ann Coulter 24-7, while nodding in complete agreement. Meanwhile, other men and women will continue to die for a cause that the proponents of said cause don't believe in enough to put their own lives in peril.
