Iraq Veterans Against the War scored a victory for free speech
Iraq Veterans Against the War scored a victory for free speech today in Kansas City, MO. A panel of three Marine Corps officers recommended today that Adam Kokesh receive a general discharge under honorable conditions. Adam and his attorney will, however, appeal this finding on the grounds that Adam is entitled to his full honorable discharge. In a seemingly hypocritical contradiction, the Marine Corps panel, as well as the prosecution's key witness, Major Whyte, agreed that the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) does not apply to members of the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). Regardless of this, several other honorably discharged IVAW members are facing a similar hearing based on their stance against the war. IVAW members will continue to tell the truth about our experiences in Iraq and in the military and fight to bring our brothers and sisters home from Iraq now.
IVAW has just received confirmation from the Washington Post that member Cloy Richards will also be charged by the Marine Corps, but Cloy has not yet received any disciplinary paperwork.

If the Marine Corps can recall already-processed honorable discharges,
can the next Democratic President recall George Tenet's Presidential Medal of Freedom?
I must say this bit of "street theater" is an idea born of genius..
As a former grunt myself I applaud these "tactics" in taking the war right to the enemy...And that enemy is APATHY...These units need to be deployed empire wide asap...This little glimpse of reality will wake up the sheepwalkers that inhabit this land.. Good on ya my brothers.
Its completely impossible for me to carry on educational assignments due to tough job in USA. Some one suggested me to buy services of writers but no one told me about the best essay writer service in USA here. Things are becoming complicated for me as time of submission is almost reached and I have done nothing for my assignments.
