WASHINGTON — Former military generals are criticizing anti-war groups for helping to organize active-duty soldiers to urge Congress to end the war in Iraq. In interviews yesterday, the generals were careful to say they have no objection to enlisted soldiers petitioning Congress as private citizens. It is a different matter, however, to coordinate this drive so close to the midterm elections and publicize it with the aid of anti-war organizations, they said. Yesterday, a company that does public relations for the liberal activist political action committee MoveOn.org, Fenton Communications, organized a conference call for reporters and three active-duty soldiers to unveil the soldiers' anti-war group Appeal for Redress.

I swear to God, these bastards are treasonous. They should be hung as such.
Ping
Ping
Arrest them for sedition.
actively recruiting Kerry 2.0... they would love nothing else than to turn this into another Vietnam.
These soldiers are the next aspiring generation of John Kerrys -- they should watch out that the swift boat vets don't get them and give them a Billy Jack kick in the head!
Seems the military hired some morons who don't know the difference between being drafted and volunteering. It's not up to a bunch of E-1s and E-3s to decided when and where we fight. Court martial them and then kick their goatsmellin' asses out!
Been speaking English long?
I don't so much blame/harbor ill feelings to the troops that signed on to this, but I do the sedionists that are recruiting them.
"Been speaking English long?"
It won't be speaking it here, at any rate.
Sad but true
Arrest these guys and pardon the Border Patrol Agents!
To hell with seditious pawns! When they finally get out, strip them of their citizenship, and deport them!
WASHINGTON — Former military generals are criticizing anti-war groups for helping to organize active-duty soldiers to urge Congress to end the war in Iraq.
In interviews yesterday, the generals were careful to say they have no objection to enlisted soldiers petitioning Congress as private citizens. It is a different matter, however, to coordinate this drive so close to the midterm elections and publicize it with the aid of anti-war organizations, they said.
Yesterday, a company that does public relations for the liberal activist political action committee MoveOn.org, Fenton Communications, organized a conference call for reporters and three active-duty soldiers to unveil the soldiers' anti-war group Appeal for Redress.
According to its Web site, Appeal for Redress is seeking signatures of active-duty soldiers for a petition that reads in part, "As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq."
The group says it now has 213 members.
"I think it is shameful because the timing is so close to the election. They ought to be ashamed of themselves," a retired Air Force lieutenant general, Thomas McInerney, told The New York Sun yesterday by phone from Israel. "The soldiers should be ashamed of themselves for being duped into this. It is to be expected from a MoveOn.org-type group. They have no standards."
(I hope don't hear black helos over my house.)
What was in comment #8?
Nailed it. The article says there are 213 of them in this "moveon.org-type group." Out of how many hundreds of thousands of active duty military? Wonder how long and hard they had to search to find 213.
The individual was rambling on about Cheney's "extension" being used in the Pentagon and "Common" Rumsfield should take someone's place on the front lines in "Hell." The "citizen soldiers" should be able to speak out and all that nonsense. It was very incoherent. I think the poster has been in this country only "a berry, berry short distance."
