The petition says these GIs \u201clive in a legal limbo of poor living conditions, verbal abuse and arbitrary punishments while waiting for up to a year to be actually charged and brought before a court martial. The result is that these soldiers are subjected to many months of unjust and illegal punishment prior to their day in court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The petition requests that the Army \u201cimprove living conditions, reassign sadistic supervisors, end all informal punishments, and expedite resolution for these soldiers so that they can return home to begin rebuilding their lives as soon as possible.\u201d It also requests that the time they spend in the Holdover Unit count as part of any sentence they might receive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And the supporters of this initiative are a who&#8217;s who of losers:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Signers include Mike Ferner, national president of Veterans for Peace; retired U.S. Army Colonel Ann Wright; Marjorie Cohn, president of the National Lawyers Guild; historian Howard Zinn; leaders of Iraq Veterans Against the War and Courage To Resist; organizers at GI coffee houses at Fort Hood and Fort Lewis; and many more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And <a href=\"http:\/\/www.couragetoresist.org\/x\/content\/view\/743\/117\/\">one other person <\/a>who has no business being on this list:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Selena Coppa \u2013 Active duty US Army Sgt., Iraq Veterans Against the War member<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I think that once again violates the rules on such things, by identifying herself with the military, but I can only keep trying to get her to see the light.<\/p>\n<p>You might remember ole Wonder Bread Che from such classics as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=11222\">Dustin Che Stevens; 2d dumbest deserter ever<\/a>&#8221; from back in June and my own piece entitled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=13746\">Dahr Jamail tongue baths another vat of whiny, pathetic, bitchy malcontents<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be honest, I&#8217;ve never seen a more pathetic band of douche-nozzle cowards in my entire life.  Let&#8217;s put it in perspective, so you understand why WE should be signing petitions instead of them.  These pansies sit around all day at Fort Bragg in a much better barracks than when I went through pre-mob, and while there they a) get paid, b) get fed, c) don&#8217;t do anything, d) aren&#8217;t in any danger, e) suckle off the public teat for all manner of things.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, half a world away, their brothers and sisters who had to serve with these losers are getting injured and killed, and not able to see their families.  Listen to that bitchy little she-man Spc. Kevin McCormick:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Echo is like jail with some privileges.  You\u2019re less than human to the commanders,\u201d Spc. McCormick said, adding that they act as if \u201cyou don\u2019t deserve to be alive. A sergeant told us he wanted to take us out and shoot us in the back of the head. We get threatened all the time there.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hey Dick, that isn&#8217;t a threat, that&#8217;s called voicing a desire.  I personally want to take you to a large sausage factory and push you into the mixing machine.  A threat would be if he said &#8220;I&#8217;m going to take you out back and drive a lawnmower up your arse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Jurisdouche McJones himself is on the case: &#8220;James Branum &#8211; Attorney \/ Mennonite Minister.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d love to get ole Che on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackfive.net\/main\/2009\/02\/in-the-crossh-1.html\">Blue Falcon Radio Hour<\/a>, but if you want to send him some love, here&#8217;s the contact info:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Spc Dustin Stevens<br \/>\n82nd Replacement Detachment Bldg.<br \/>\nC-8750 Lae Street Stop-A. | Fort Bragg NC 28310<br \/>\n\u2022Spc Stevens is doing a limited number of media interviews.
