Garret Reppenhagen
"There are ways to resist this war within army
regulations, if you're a citizen soldier you still obtain your
rights as a citizen you’re able to use those rights and you should
since your the one sacrificing to protect those rights." Reppenhagen
spoke on the IVAW panel, "The future of GI resistance," at the
Winter Soldier testimony in March 2008. He is the co-creator of an

WORKING CLASS WAR:
Prof. Chris Appy
After the Vietnam War and the great slumber (1973-2003), those at
the top and the ideologues who achieved control of the U.S.
government, learned visceral lessons from the Vietnam War: do away
with the draft, control the media, privatize the military, fine tune
the killing machine (the officers) & govern by stealth and false
flag. Appy, in his March 15 2008 testimony, sees cause for hope in
the IVAW resistance. 10 mins - youtube link
I’M NO LONGER THE MONSTER I ONCE
WAS: IVAW activist Jon M. Turner began his Winter Soldier
2008 testimony, “‘Once a Marine, always a Marine.’ But there’s also
the term, ‘Eat the apple, F the core.’” With that, Turner ripped his
many medals from his shirt, “I don’t work for you no more.” In
bravely relating his horrific experiences In Iraq, Turner exposes
the purposeful and on-going creation of monsters by the U.S.
military, the politicians who direct them and the public which
acquiesces. As Francisco Goya wrote many years ago, “the sleep of
reason produces monsters.”
