“Courage to Resist is providing a vital role to those soldiers who are aware that they are being used for the corporate gain of our leaders…”
The terrible United States’ invasion of Vietnam came to an end because of soldier resistance to the wanton killing of the Vietnamese people.
Today, the United States has again invaded and occupies another country–Iraq, for corporate greed by our leaders. The plunder, torture, rape, and murder of innocent peoples and the senseless use of our citizen soldiers as a weapon against innocent peoples must come to an end.
Courage to Resist is providing a vital role to those soldiers who are aware that they are being used for the corporate gain of our leaders. Where soldiers know that there is a support system in the community, their choice to resist will be of great comfort. Courage to Resist actively supports the soldier.
“I fully support the right of US military personnel who, in acts of conscience, refuse to go to a war of aggression, a war crime. … I proudly support those who take such a stand.”
