ST. LOUIS--On March 30, a national veterans’ organization called for the removal of President George W. Bush and Vice-President Richard Cheney for crimes the group charges were committed during the invasion and occupation of Iraq. In a letter sent to each member of the US House and Senate, Veterans For Peace (VFP) stated that “...This administration’s war on Iraq, in addition to being increasingly unpopular among Americans, is an unmistakable violation of our Constitution and federal law which you have sworn to uphold. In our system, the remedy for such high crimes is clear: this administration must be impeached.”
David Cline, a decorated Vietnam War combat veteran and VFP president, said in a prepared statement to the press, "We do not make this call lightly and as former members of the US armed forces, we take our responsibilities as citizens very seriously. For that reason we believe that when our government conducts a war of aggression on Iraq and commits a growing and appalling series of what must legally be considered war crimes and crimes against humanity in the execution of that war, it violates Article VI of the US Constitution, the War Crimes Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. § 2441), and numerous international treaties which are legally binding on our nation."

Sorry I mentioned Hack's name, I didn't see it in this article just spouted off at him as this seems like something he would do.
"it may not participate at all in campaign activity for or against political candidates."
I would say that calling for impeachment IS participating in political activity.

Yes, I agree - I'm still researching.
What's the Mac have to do with it?
I'm curious about that? Why?
BUMP!!
Very impressive!
You're right, nobody's going to censure Kennedy - in this life!
I do too!

She just regrets getting her picture taken on the gun- probably because it's something revisionist history can't fix for her.
Thanks for catching my erroneous interpretation.
Want to be that they're all or mostly fake vets? The kind of people B.G. Burkett wrote about in "Stolen Valor"?
