\"Fort<\/a>
\nSo here’s the massive protest the gang from Under the Hood cafe staged at Fort Hood to protest the deployment of<\/del> 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment’s deployment next month. I don’t know who sent me the pictures, they just fell into my inbox this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Here’s Under the Hood’s press release;<\/p>\n

Attending the rally will be Veterans of the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, military family members, active-duty servicemembers and other local activists. Bobby Whittenberg, former Marine, Purple Heart recipient and an organizer of the rally said marchers are standing in solidarity with the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, and troops being deployed against their wills.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to send a strong message that these wars and occupations are wrong, and that officers sending Soldiers in need of medical care into combat is wrong, too,\u201d said Whittenberg. \u201cUnfortunately in the military, this is standard operating procedure.\u201d<\/p>\n

This latest demonstration comes less than a month after a prior demonstration at the East Gate of Fort Hood opposing the wars. As the latest outrage unfolds in response to the 91,000 documents leaked by Wikileaks detailing numerous human rights violations in Afghanistan, activity in the local peace community is surging, with similar demonstrations planned for the near future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Apparently, they expected more people to show up;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, in order to attract an anemic crowd they have to include people with a different agenda;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this sign about immigration;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No International Socialist members? Well look at this sign;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No, at the bottom;<\/p>\n

\"Fort<\/a><\/p>\n

Kiss my ass and bring me another Slurpy, bitch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“No more blood for oil” has kind of run it’s course, hasn’t it? Time to come up with some new shit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What sense does it make to take a soldier who is not at 100% to a war? Besides, if we listen to Jeremy Stained-drawers<\/a>, it’ll hurt them worse to stay behind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s Cindy Thomas on your left holding the banner. She got started in the movement for good reasons, but I hear she’s let the ISO co-opt UtH and she drinks at the kool-aid pitcher these days.<\/p>\n

A keffiyeh? Really? What does that have to do with Afghanistan or the 3rd ACR?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the picture above, see the sign the guy in front is carrying? Wonder what it says?<\/p>\n

3rd Armored CrimANAL Regiment. So much for supporting the troops while they condemn the war.<\/p>\n

\"Fort<\/a><\/p>\n

Kinda goes against this Facebook discussion Cindy Thomas had with a young soldier the other day;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think that dry cleaner was a Church’s Chicken shack when I was stationed at Hood. But notice that sign?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This one;<\/p>\n

\"Fort<\/a><\/p>\n

Yep, no ISO influence here.<\/p>\n

So this is the “new revolution” we’ve heard about so much – sorta looks like the old revolution doesn’t it? Well, except “radical feminists<\/a>” have teamed up with admitted rapists;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mike Kern beating a paint can while wearing an “I love pirates” bandanna like Bobby isn’t new either;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The whole kick-ass crowd;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Matthis had better eat a sandwich before the Central Texas wind blows his narrow ass back to New York.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whittenberg and Matthis together – that’s a lot of ego to crowd onto one corner in Central Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
