"Former military generals are criticizing anti-war groups for helping to organize active-duty soldiers to urge Congress to end the war in Iraq."
Many political activities are against regulations. I wonder where this falls?

Exactly. Dishonorable discharges at a minimum. Court Martials for sedition where appropriate. If need be, set a few hundred very painful examples. Our military is a place where respect for the chain of command is paramount. If underlings do not like what the chain of command says or tells them to do, then too bad. Underlings need to keep their mouth shut and do their job. That is what they volunteered for. They signed away the right to unrestricted free speech when they signed the enrollment papers. If any of them do not want to do their job, then get out of the way, take the stiff punishment, and stop endangering fellow troops.

Hey, look at what Fenton Communication's new project is...
Mary McCarthy and Dana what's-her-name's husband commie organizers.
Fenton represents Joe Wilson, too.

Unreal. Once again the leftist scumbags show how well they "support" the US military in wartime.

Time to resurrect those drawings showing how all of the commie dots connect. We need to get them to holdnnow, to Rush and to John Gibson....
These October surprises are silly, and downright predictable!

"Its not that they are morally opposed to what he wants - the destruction of America and its military - but they just prefer different tactics."
Au Contraire! I think the leaders and funders are Marxists who would like to destroy the US, to further their "International Marxist" (One World) ideas. Their followers, maybe for the most part, might be just the same old garden-variety Useful Idjits.

"I think they are able to protest under the "Whistle Blower" act. "
I don't think so. Remember this past Spring or Summer, Reid and Schumer were trying a similar thing- trying to use active-duty troops as part of a "protest"? Well, they were stopped- something about the Military Code of Justice, or something like that. It's illegal. Big Time.

Thanks for the Milblogs link. I took it, and looked at the blurb on Fenton Communications- I thought he looked familiar: although the red hair has turned gray, David Fenton is really Alfred E. Newman.

LOL. Yes, I think he is. It also appears that Hutto was involved in leftie politics prior to his current activity.

You don't do that in uniform, period.
I think they should do their protesting here:
