They were instrumental in ending VietNam; they should be listened to now.
Hear their voices. Open your ears.
From 20/20, I think.
There's something happening here

| "Joining the Marine Corps was one of the best decisions I've ever made," Madden told me over dinner in Washington, about a 45-minute drive from his post at Quantico, Va. But he harshly criticized what he considers to be a botched strategy -- along with the shifting rationale for the war, its high human toll and the poor prognosis for success. He said there is "an implied trust" between soldier and government that the military will not be ordered into a dubious, costly adventure. "When it becomes blatantly evident that you are being exploited then it is justified for those in the military to dissent," Madden said. "This war is not right." |

| "It is significant because it is a clear voice from people who are dedicated to the military and dedicated to service, but not dedicated to this war," said J.E. McNeil, the executive director at the Center on Conscience & War who is providing some legal advice to those participating. "For every one of those guys," McNeil claimed, "there are 2,000 or 3,000 guys who are not willing to go public like this. These men and women represent the tip of the iceberg." |

Yes, apparently they were key to ending that modern horror story.
More than what most people nowadays even likely realize.
Kennedy for his part never wanted it to happen.
LBJ? Apparently he saw things from a little different perspective 
If the world should listen to anyone re: IRAQ ( as well as all the other misc. crusading adventures currently underway in the middle east & beyond )
it's the dedicated men & women who've been sent by the elite to execute an agenda  |
