NEW YORK The American Legion, which has 2.7 million members, has declared war on antiwar protestors, and the media could be next. Speaking at its national convention in Honolulu, the group’s national commander called for an end to all “public protests” and “media events” against the war, even though they are protected by the Bill of Rights.
“The American Legion will stand against anyone and any group that would demoralize our troops, or worse, endanger their lives by encouraging terrorists to continue their cowardly attacks against freedom-loving peoples,” Thomas Cadmus, national commander, told delegates at the group’s national convention in Honolulu.
The delegates voted to use whatever means necessary to “ensure the united backing of the American people to support our troops and the global war on terrorism.” </i>
Uh, fellas? You forget what the f you supposedly fought those wars for? You know, freedom of speech, Bill of Rights, that sort of thing? Sounds like the squealing of trapped rats to me. Trapped into supporting an illegal war, and watching- FINALLY- the erosion of public confidence in our unelected despots, leaving only the hardcore, USA right or wrong 3 monkeys to cheer. Maybe they can get Pat Robertson to speak at their next meeting.
