IVAW Full of Idiots
I know: “Not another IVAW attack piece.” Yup, that’s right. But, they just do the dumbest things and I can’t help myself to discuss the ignorance. This time, they “protested” at the DNC, otherwise known as “home base” for the anti-war movement. If you ask me, it’s like protesting against PETA to force them to stop wearing furs.
IVAW started their absurd little charade by marching to the convention location in formation. They then stood in formation until someone from Obama’s campaign came out and agreed to let them speak on the podium! hehe. I so wish they would have allowed that. Supposedly, someone did come out and bring in a couple of the members, Jeff Key and psycho Liam Madden, were led into the stadium and met with members of Obama’s campaign.
The ignorant Soldiers, none of which I saw wearing infantry blue on their branch insignia or cords, then staged fake patrols through the city. I can’t emphasize enough how silly these people looked traipsing through the streets of Denver with their hands up to represent their weapons. You’ll have to watch their video yourself here.
Does the IVAW leadership and sheepish followers really think we’re that stupid? There are videos ALL OVER THE PLACE of Soldiers in patrols on the streets of Iraq. I challenge you to find videos of REAL Soldiers patrolling even remotely similar to the way these morons were. Then, they upped the ante of silliness by adding in angry crowds. To quell the riots, the “Soldiers” pointed their hands weapons at the angry crowd. This breaks all the conventional wisdom and TTP elements trained in any military I’m aware of. That’s because the reality of this is that probably very few of these “Soldiers” have ever even participated in a combat patrol. They broke just about every rule of combat patrols on the books.
I’m not even going to address the illegality of some of the uniforms worn during the event. I’ll save that for someone who really thinks these people represent anything but a Tom and Jerry episode.

August 29th, 2008 at 8:05 pmI saw the videos of this the other day. It was such a joke. Then that insignificant little twirp of a Senator, who’s name escapes me at the moment went and stood in the middle of them and said how he was standing with them to show solidarity for their efforts. Paleeeeze. I guess stupidity trumps everything at the convention.

“Stupid is as stupid does…” and they are definately, “Stuck on Stupid.”
