Long, powerful post that interleaves the "war crimes" charges of the Iraq Veterans Against the War, the newly exposed lies of their mentors and namesake, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and the pleas of veterans not to let America's troops be smeared as baby killers again.

Only 15 more shopping days until the leftist gather in Washington to trash our troops again at "Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan." This might be a good time to sign the petition, if you haven't already.

Is there still activism at Free Republic?

Desensitized American Soldier Dehumanizing an Iraqi:

That's no soldier, that's an airman. And not just a Sergeant, but a Chief Master Sergeant. One of the folks who really run the operational side of the Air Force.

But there is a definite error in the story released by the Air Force at the time:

Humble chief gains national attention

:

I've never observed, or even heard of, a "humble" Chief. I think they do a humble-ectomy when they issue the stripes.

I was in college in 1971 and at the time, I believed the allegations because they were made at public hearings. Such a shame that kangaroo hearings are happening again to poison the minds of a new generation.
