Old Trooper sends us a link to the story<\/a> of how some of the Veterans for Sitting on Our Hands are on their way on a trip paid for by Code Pink to South Waziristan demanding that more US troops be killed. Ostensibly, they’re there to bring us the stories of the “victims” of the drone war against terrorists, but not how they’re victims of the terrorists who reside there. or how they happen to be between the drones and the terrorists.<\/p>\n

VFP President Leah Bolger said, “The use of combat drones is both immoral and illegal. They violate the sovereign airspace of countries that we have not declared war with, and have killed thousands of innocent civilians. Can you imagine how the American public would react if another country murdered our citizens with drones? The U.S. military favors the use of drones because they ‘save American lives’ — when will we start thinking of the lives of others as being as valuable as our own?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Believe it or not, Leah Bolger<\/a> is a Navy veteran and she’s traveling with Army veteran Ann Wright<\/a> both of whom apparently want American troops formerly under their respective commands to die. While I’m not ready to admit that the drone war is particularly effective in winning the war against terror, I’m for anything that saves US lives and at the same grants the wishes of jihadists who are in a rush to meet their prophet.<\/p>\n

It’s probably important that I point out that Ann Wright was also on the Board of Advisors<\/a> of OpTruth, the Paul Rieckhoff-inspired predecessor to IAVA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
