I found out that one<\/a> of the people that I went to Basic training at Fort Lenard Wood is\/was part of the IVAW. I had found here back in 2007 when we had the exact same video about our Basic on MySpace. She was part of the 82d as a truck Driver. She went to Iraq in December 2006 at FOB Summerall with the Easy Company 1-505th, 3rd Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division. She stayed there until about May of 2007 when she was put on Rear Detachment for medical reasons. Later she gets outs and joins the IVAW’s 53 Chapter in Las Vegas. But this is were it starts to get interesting.<\/p>\n

She made a post on June 18, 2008 in the IVAW members speak out that could be seen in two ways. See for yourself. <\/p>\n

\nSo this is the email I recieved today on Myspace from A guy that was in the Army back in the 90’s and has never deployed….<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’m deleting you from my friends list. I don’t dislike you, but I don’t need rubbish like this video being brought to my attention. It’s unfortunate you are so naive, even after all you have seen. It seems, after all, that some are unteachable.”<\/em><\/p>\n

So funny how he calls me “unteachable” yet he is the one who has never been to Iraq and doesn’t know anything other than what is in the news.<\/strong> He seems to think he knows so much about what is going on over there. Give me a break, he is just ignorant like a lot of Americans that think this War is for the better. I wish there was some kind of a program like a foreign exchange type deal where we can send these ignorant people to Iraq so they can see first hand what is exactly going on.<\/strong> My Own husband is on the fence on this subject he thinks that the war was started on lies which we all know it was. Yet he isn’t sure if we should leave yet or not….Now I love my husband but he was a 25 F and he spent a year in Iraq stuck on a Fob he wasn’t going out and doing missions in the city so he never saw the things most of us saw and I think that is why he thinks the way he does. I am trying to get it across to him that we need to end this occupation, maybe with some time he will be with me on this. If not oh well. I just pray that Iraq doesn’t end up like Kuwait that is now a duty station. If they ever turn Iraq into a duty station I am moving to Canada! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kinda takes it’s own perspective when considering the people in IVAW who have never seen Iraq. But this is the part that is confusing to me. In her blog she is very vocal about her dislike of the Army and her excitement <\/a>about getting out with her new Husband. Not to mention that she was against the Iraq War in a comment she left to Casey Porter in August 31st of 2008<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Thanks for the Add!! I Love your videos and the way you speak out against the occupation! IVAW all the way!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So it is surprising that when I looked her up on AKO that it showed her being in the Army Reserves for Nevada. Her Blog<\/a> also confirmed that her and her husband had re-enlisted in November of 2008. <\/p>\n

I am back in the Army reserves and that is going well, everyone in my unit is really nice. Nate joined to hahaha he couldn’t stay away. So I am changing my MOS from 88M truck driver to 42A Human resource spc….thank god because I don’t wanna drive anymore damn trucks lol.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I just thought it odd considering that with the IVAW is vocal about supporting troops that do not want to deploy, why would you join the Army reserves? I mean the IVAW’s Las Vegas<\/a> is using your photo as a poster picture for it’s MySpace page<\/a>. The second thing is how was she able to get back in the Military if she was Med-Boardedout for a heart condition? I just do not get it. <\/p>\n
