In 2006, when President Bush announced the troop surge in Iraq, IVAW was on the front lines in attacking the administration for ignoring Afghanistan. Its members – some of whom were actually veterans – were front and center putting out emails and press releases about how Iraq was a bad war and we’ve lost focus in Afghanistan. They sent people to the Capitol to flood the halls of Congress with pleas to get back on track.
Well, last year President Bush began refocusing on Afghanistan. President Obama picked up the reigns and is about to nearly quadruple the number of troops in Afghanistan. Suddenly, the idjits at IVAW realized they had no idea what to do next. So, they got rid of their Executive Director who had actually served and replaced her with a non-veteran. Droves of members followed as the organization lost its own focus.
With the announcement of the troops surge, IVAW has now decided that maybe they were wrong all along. They are now fervently looking for ways to end the war in Afghanistan – the country where the perpetrators of 9/11 were trained. And they’re encouraging and supporting morons who refuse to deploy now to the “legitimate” war and are circulating a petition to support the cowardly waste of human flesh.
Victor and uber peace hags - the best women IVAW money can buy!
We whose names and signatures appear below support Army Specialist Victor Agosto’s principled stance against the unjust war against the citizens of Afghanistan.
SPC Agosto, assigned to C Company, 57th ESB, at Fort Hood, Texas, is now facing court-martial for standing up for his beliefs. On April 30, he informed his company commander that he would not deploy to Afghanistan. Since May 11, he has refused all orders directly supporting his unit’s deployment. We, the undersigned, demand that the commanding general of Fort Hood, TX, and the convening authority for his court-martial drop all charges against SPC Victor Agosto.
In typically ignorant IVAW fashion, Victor concluded that “Both occupations fuel the insurgencies in those countries. We are creating ‘terrorists’ and we are killing so many innocent people.”
So, Mr. Genius, how were the “terrorists” created BEFORE the “occupations?” Where did they come from in 2000? Where did they come from in 1998? Where did they come from in 1995? Where did they come from in 1993? You see, dumbass, we didn’t create terrorism – we’re fighting it! But your sorry ass is too cowardly and yellow-bellied to be a part of the solution. Instead, you create more problems. You oppose your brothers and sisters in arms who are actually defeating enemies of this country. Meanwhile, you just surround yourself with beady-eyed hippies who miss their glory days of the Vietnam days!
And, I’m sorry, but WHO exactly is killing innocent people? Is there not anyone in IVAW with enough brains to recognize the difference between right and wrong? They are obviously confused about who is targeting innocent people and who is targeting the people who target innocent people. Then again, I’m sure the nutcases at IVAW support the killing of innocent people as long as we aren’t called in to stop it!
What do you expect from a group funded through Veterans For Peace, another group full of non-veterans.
“The only way to make them [politicians] responsive to the needs of the people is if soldiers won’t fight their wars, and if soldiers won’t fight their wars, the wars won’t happen. I hope I’m setting an example for other soldiers,” says Victor. He’s right! Without Soldiers, war will simply disappear! I say we jump on that idea from the Professor of Public Idiocy himself. I say our Soldiers be fanned out across the country and just find big rocks to paint. We can be used to “do the jobs American won’t do.”
IVAW really found the pick of the litter with this guy. He may be on to something. Let’s get rid of cops so crime will go away. Let’s get rid of firefighters so wildfires will disappear. Let’s get rid of the DEA so drug abuse will vanish. Let’s get rid of politicians so everyone will be self-sufficient (actually, that is a good idea!). Let’s get rid of school so our kids no longer fail. We could go on in on with Victor’s brilliance. There’s no stop to the good that can be done in this country! Let’s get rid of IVAW so intelligence makes a comeback. We should pay close attention to everything the Master Coward says. After all, he’s all of a…..Specialist!!
Victory, what part of your job description gave you the impression you could decide when and where you will deploy? What part of “armed forces” or “Army” or “Soldier” do you not understand? When does a Specialist in the Army decide which aspects of foreign policy or conflict they will support? You don’t have to like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. You don’t have to agree with the occupation. And you surely don’t have to do anything illegal. A hero is not a war resister. A hero is someone that does the right thing in a bad situation. A hero doesn’t disobey lawful orders. You, Victor, anything but a hero. You’re an anti-hero. You’re a coward and disgrace. Hopefully, you’ll be out of the Army as quick as possible so my uniform is no longer disgraced hanging upon your worthless body.
