Gathering of Eagles VS Iraq Veterans Against War

IVAW - Iraq Veterans Against War plan on revisiting past shame by taking a page from the 1971 VVAW Winter Soldier Investigation (WSI). The IVAW is holding its own Winter Soldier Investigation this month at the National Labor College in Silver Spring, MD.

The unverified allegations by the original Winter Soldier Investigation were made famous by John Kerry's congressional testimony where he characterized American soldiers as "razing villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan". Unproven statements from the membership of the VVAW and John Kerry managed to smear the reputation of an entire generation of honorable soldiers. Decades later, Vietnam Veterans are still reeling from the aggregious mischaracterization purpetrated by the VVAW.

The Iraq veterans Against War (Formed under Veterans For Peace) are attempting to do the same to this generation of men and women serving in our military. Select IVAW members are scheduled to make statements, and will do so without swearing an oath or signing legally binding depositions, affidavits or official reports. In essence, the IVAW are denying these individuals the basic right of American citizens to due process.

Not these troops - Not this war - Not this time.

The Gathering of Eagles is spearheading a campaign to counter the forthcoming IVAW Winter Soldier Investigation. This video is a compliation of GOE supporters from across the nation speaking out against this upcoming travesty of truth. This new generation of winter soldier's will NOT have the opportunity to smear our troops with impunity. The will be held accountable for their statements More here.

The IVAW has no shame - they are going to conduct a smear campaign against our troops.

They won't be doing it under oath.

They are going to accuse this generation of troops of committing atrocities and war crimes on a daily basis.

They won't be doing it under oath.

Our troops ARE NOT the bad guys - they are SAVING THE WORLD from evil.

I'm very grateful to the Gathering of Eagles for organizing this counter video of Gold Star Families, Blue Star Families, Vets, and Patriots.

Thanks for posting this Atlas!
