Despite the end of the Iraq war and the scheduled drawdown in Afghanistan, this Memorial Dayarrives against a backdrop of deepening – and some say more troublesome – antiwar sentiment among military veterans.
One of the most vivid and replayed images of protesters at the NATO summit last weekend inChicago was a group of some 40 vets lined up to toss their war medals over the chain link fence to protest what former naval officer Leah Bolger calls “the illegal wars of both NATO and America.”
According to a recent Pew Research Center study, 33 percent of post-9/11 veterans say that neither the war in Iraq nor in Afghanistan “were worth the cost,” and this among a highly motivated cohort who chose to serve.
What this means, says retired US Army Col. Ann Wright, who resigned from a State Department post in 2006 over US policies in Iraq, is that there is a widening gap between the government, military policies, and the soldiers that carry them out.
“Military personnel know America will always have a military, but there is growing concern over the way it is being used,” says the 29-year veteran, adding that an increasing list of concerns include “the use of torture, illegal detentions, and both soldiers and the public being lied to about the actual reasons for going into combat.”

That depends on what the mission really was and if bushco knew that.
Thank You Veterans,may you help lead us out of this mess.
Of course there is a deepening antiwar sentiment with veterans. It happened with Vietnam which is why combined with the people speaking out in large part we pulled out over there and our Government hoped they could avoid it with Iraq and Afghanistan. They figured in the almost 40 years since that happened they have dumbed down the population enough to where the sheeple would do what they are told and keep fighting. How wrong they were.

We started figuring out the government had been lying to us in 1967/68 after a couple of years of being fed the same kind of flag waving propaganda bullshit they have been feeding today’s civilians, vets and active duty people. The “dominoe Theory” and the Light at the end of the tunnel indeed.
