While Congressman Brian Baird was in Iraq, 7 sergeants with the 82nd Airborne wrote an op-ed that was published in the New York Times.

It was a direct contradiction of what the turncoat representative had to say on his return. When active duty military personnel speak out against the war/occupation, they risk some serious punishment. When a Congressman lies, its normal. Who are you going to believe, boots on the ground or a politician?
Active duty and veterans speaking out and resisting the war/occupation, are some of the most powerful voices refuting the lies perpetrated by the war machine. They need our support. Iraq Veterans Against the War, ( link to www.ivaw.org ) are two of the organizations leading this movement. Next time you see a IVAW or VFP action, think about dropping a buck or two into their coffers.
