They’re so confused, they call the 3rd ACR, the 3rd Battalion. There aren’t any line battalions in an Armored Cavalry Regiment. I’m no Cav guy, but I’m pretty sure line battalions are called squadrons. But what do you expect of people who can’t take the time to understand the issue they’re protesting – they’re certainly not going to take the time to get to know the people they’re ostensibly protecting, are they?<\/p>\n
Attention Activists:<\/p>\n
There are only a few days left before actions kick off at Fort Hood Aug. 22 opposing the deployment of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment to Iraq.<\/p>\n
We will be engaging in radical direct action of which optional elements may risk minor legal ramifications. This is a multi-faceted action with various degrees of potential risk, and individuals unable to take on such risks are as needed as those who are. However, we have never won anything without sacrifice. We have never influenced our government by behaving submissively.<\/p>\n
Only weeks after announcing the 2nd \u201cend\u201d of combat operations in Iraq, the U.S. is preparing to deploy a combat unit to Iraq yet again. We know their claims are a semantics game; a rebranding of the same old bloody occupation. This time, however, we say \u201cNo More!\u201d<\/p>\n
Thus far, all of our cleverly worded signs and chants have unsurprisingly failed to halt the biggest war machine in history. It is long past time we move beyond protest to resistance. We now ask not only for your signs and banners but for your bodies and your raised fists. Please stand with us at Fort Hood as we engage in direct action to jam the gears of the US Empire’s War Machine.<\/p>\n
There will be a final organizing meeting the evening of Saturday, August 21st at 8pm in the Killeen, Texas, area. Following this meeting, all participants will need to remain in the area for the next 24 hours. Contact forthooddisobeys@hushmail.com with your name, a brief bio and the degree to which you are interested in participating for more information and to learn the location of the meeting. Lodging can be provided on a first come, first serve basis. Contact us now to RSVP.<\/p>\n
This struggle must be waged here in our military community. Marches in Washington and New York can only do so much. Our Soldiers must see us in THEIR streets waging just struggle in the defense of human life. Only then will they find the courage to disobey Fort Hood.<\/p>\n
In Struggle,<\/p>\n
The Disobedient<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The “disobedient” child-followers of the Matthis crowd (mob) are hoping to get arrested. Of course, they’re going to continue to break laws and push the edge of the envelope because no one ever punishes them. How many times have IVAW members been arrested and the prosecutors drop charges? Countless. Of course, now they’re in Texas, and in a military town – things might be a bit different. <\/p>\n
Here’s a hint for those IVAW members who sending their bios to the “hush mail” account…it’s not as secure as you think it is…but, hey, you know more than I know. Go ahead. I’m just an old, ignorant war monger who spreads propaganda and rumors about IVAW. So knock yourself out.<\/p>\n
This has Seth Manzel’s fingerprints all over it – he led the protests in Washington State trying to block the deployment of the Stryker Brigade there. That didn’t work either. But, hey, you guys go ahead and get yourselves arrested for yet another hare-brained scheme of Matthis and Bobby Whittenberg. Of course, their lives are over – they’re the Bill Perry and Ward Reilly of their generation. Go ahead and throw in with them and see where it gets you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
