US drones kill 100's children daily. Former US military personnel
resistance

Former US military personnel formerly announced Thursday that they
are leading American human rights defenders to gather in Washington
DC in March for solidarity with both foreign and domestic collateral
damage in the US war on terror and for civil disobedience in defense
of the U.S. Constitution.

The American killing of innocent civilians, including hundreds of
children daily with drones, and human suffering in the U.S. while
funds divert to the pentagon, is driving Veterans For
Peace<http://www.veteransforpeace.org/> to lead another protest in
Washington DC to mark the illegal and amoral invasion of Iraq. �As
occurred in the December en masse civil
disobedience<http://www.examiner.com/human-rights-in-national/rebellion-at-wh
ite-house-victory-for-hope-video>, the former U.S. soldiers and
other human rights workers will refuse to move once stationed in
DC.

The US and allied forces have killed 100,000 Iraqis, mostly children
and innocent women and children, and have sacrificed the lives of
almost 5,000 American soldiers.

In a written statement released Thursday, Veterans For Peace
spokespersons, Mike Ferner and Tarak Kauff called the invasions of
Iraq and Afghanistan "imperial wars" while the same war is waged
against Americans at home.

Collateral damage includes the million of Americans having their
human rights violated to pay for committing genocide elsewhere.

Constitution. In December, Chris Hedges addressed the crowd with a
historical oratory in which he said:

When you put your body on the line and you say you won't let this
happen anymore and you'll do whatever it takes to make that happen,
it's something spiritual. - ("Rebellion at White House victory for

ional/rebellion-at-white-house-victory-for-hope-video>)

Organizers of the March 2011 protest anticipate an even stronger
show of resistance than the last two gatherings.

American collateral damage

Ferner and Kauff stated:

U.S. drones rain missiles down on innocents in Pakistan; hundreds
of children die daily in Afghanistan because of the war; contrary
to what the President says, the occupation in Iraq continues. �The
devastation and misery caused by these wars has not even begun to
be addressed. �Rather than bringing democracy and freedom to the
people of Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. is destroying their countries
perhaps beyond repair.

We should not think that the destruction and suffering unleashed
by war is limited to Iraq and Afghanistan. �Individuals and whole
cities here at home become "collateral damage." �Millions of people
are thrown out of their jobs and then out of their homes. �Pressures
cascade onto state and local governments as the stagnant economy
and frustrated voters further decrease funds for essential services.
Our infrastructure isn't bombed, it just slowly rots.

This time when the human rights workers descend on DC on March 19,
2011, the U.S. military veterans including those from organizations
Iraq Veterans Against the War, March Forward!, Vietnam Veterans
Against the War and Veterans For Peace will again gather at the
White House in solidarity to demand peace.

The former military is being supported by ANSWER, Fellowship of
Reconciliation, CODEPINK, United for Peace and Justice, World Cant
Wait, Peace Action, and the War Resisters League.

The veterans are also supporting Bradley Manning as a hero. They
stated they believe his incarceration, under conditions to torture
and are calling for "immediate end to the cruel, inhuman, and
degrading treatment of PFC Bradley Manning during his military
confinement."

"As veterans, we well understand and cherish the obligation of
military personnel to refuse illegal orders and beyond that to
prevent and expose war crimes. We know there is no excuse for
following illegal orders," stated Ferner and Kauf

"We understand the need for justice. Our demand is clear,
straightforward, and undeniable. Bring to justice those who committed
war crimes, not those who report themwho heroically refuse to be a
part of state-inspired mayhem and murder."

In December, when the former military personnel protested in DC,
the following poignant statements were made:

The speeches were over. There was a mournful harmonica rendition
of taps. The 500 protesters fell silent. One hundred and thirty-one
men and women, many of them military veterans wearing old fatigues,
formed a single, silent line.

Under a heavy snowfall and to the slow beat of a drum, they walked
to the White House fence. They stood there until they were
arrested.Chris Hedges

We have become a killer nation and our economy is addicted to endless
war spending. The Congress and the White House have been taken over
by the corporate oligarchy and they have drowned democracy.Bruce
Gagnon

Fascism depends on pacified citizenry

The human rights defenders organizing action to end illegal invasions
and foster needs of Americans at home recognize that "Americas
corporate rulers understand that their power depends upon a subdued,
sedated and manipulated publica public fed lies and fantasies that
can, when needed, be manipulated by fear or coercion."

"But as the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt show us, the people can
triumph over entrenched power, lies, fear, and coercion," stated
Ferner and Kauff.

"Forty-four years ago at Riverside Church in New York City Martin
Luther King said, 'Our only hope today lies in our ability to
recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes
hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and
militarism.'

The March 19th protest is planned to be the largest former military
personnel-led, nonviolent, public civil resistance to the White
House in the history of the United States.
