I found this at IVAW Actions about Cindy Thomas, an Army wife who opened “Under the Hood”, an IVAW “coffeehouse” that sprang from the coffeehouse plot of VVAW in the 60s to undermine military authority and help facilitate an end to the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n

Now, I’m not going to demean the sacrifice that Cindy Thomas has already made, but if that’s the excuse she’s going to use to undermine order and discipline in the Army, she really needs a dose of reality. Yes, her husband was injured. Yes, her step-son VOLUNTEERED to join the Marines – but they’re all making their own respective choices to fight this war – they’re not being drafted and force to participate. It’s not the 60s, Cindy.<\/p>\n

The title of the post is “New cafe a refuge for dissent”. Dissent of what? Cindy – look at your husband. Do you think he’d want you to facilitate dissent in the Volunteer Army? If he’d come home from work and complained about some “dissenting” soldiers in his unit, what would you have thought of them? What would your husband have thought of them?<\/p>\n

By encouraging dissent among volunteer military members, you’re causing more deaths in this war because dissent makes them unreliable in combat. You might as well strap on a bomb vest, pick up an AK and wrap a head scarf around your head and attack the Fort Hood Rod and Gun Club (the only place to go to get a decent meal and a beer on Hood as far as I remember from my years there).<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t it be easier to to join Soldiers Angels and actually do something supportive for the soldiers instead of something completely destructive? Besides, you’ll lose your ass if you think you’ll be able stay open on what those derelicts will spend on coffee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
