Members of International A.N.S.W.E.R.;

Signatories of Not In My Name; and

Citizens of the United States of America:

With the impending military action in Iraq I felt compelled to write this letter. As a member of the United States military I regret to inform you that, regardless of your race, sex, color, creed, age, national origin, political ideology, or any other delimiter, the actions that will take place against Iraq will be fully, undeniably, and irrevocably IN YOUR NAME. Despite of your signature on a piece of paper, this statement remains true.

In my fifteen years of service in the U.S. Navy (8.5 years active duty, balance reserve) I have raised my right hand six time to swear "that I will support and defend the constitution of the United States". That wonderful document which covers us, protects us, enables our way of life. The constitution provides our rights, sets our standards of law, and importantly in this context gives the President of the United States the power to set the foreign policy.

The constitution also provides the method of electing the President, and designates him as Commander in Chief of the military. I have also sworn "that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States", I do not have to like the president, I do not have to agree with his policy. I have served under four men holding that office, and made no distinction between them. When the President sets the military in action he does so by the power given him by the constitution and the people of the U.S. As a service member the President through the constitution ultimately directs my actions, the resulting action is therefore proscribed by the constitution. If you consider yourself a citizen of this country willfully covered by the Constitution, all military action is therefore In Your Name.

I know you might disagree with that statement, you may not like that statement, but the members of the armed forces will proudly serve in the name of all Americans. We will continue to provide you with security, with your freedoms, and your rights even if you do not like how, when or why we do.

Respectfully,

Stanley J. Wolczyk III

Petty Officer First Class U.S.N.R.

hey kids!! - - keep on laughing. laugh 'til you cry. but don't count on the adults of the world to sober up before you do.

your light hearted comedy should be the most harmless thing in the world, but unfortunately, we adults are drunk on anger, driving towards a cliff, and have lost our forward vision.

so... the situation is unfair, but your light hearts are now dangerous due to the shameful fact that we adults are probably even less serious than you kids, and someone has to get serious if you hadn't noticed.

and from what i can see, us adults are less likely to get it together than you.

Hi! I'm so glad you like this war and the administration's
leadership. Enjoy the blood bath, savor the aromas, have
a nice life.

SCREW Saddam & sons terrorist in IRAQ!
What about 911 HUH?
IM glad were bombing.
Protesters are COWARDS & IM ashamed of them in time of WAR!
The shock & awe not even close.
There's too many problems
They just get in the way
We sure could live without them
They hijack our planes
They raise our oil prices

BEIRUT, LEBANON-Won't exist once we're done
LIBYA, IRAN-We'll flush the bastards down the can
SYRIANS and SHIITES-Crush their faces with our might
Then USA Britain and ISRAEL can live in peace without evil people!

REMEMBER 911

Do you remember about it?
We never found anything out.
What's to remember dumbass?

Some punk kid trying to get whoever's info they posted there flamed. Tempting though it may be, i'd avoid it. Who the hell would really put a phone number on that crap.

All these people with their "Rember 9/11" rahrah crap...

just makes me imagine a giant unclesam screaming at the populace with a puppet in one hand and a big ass gun in the other, screaming "REMEMBER 9-11" from the puppet while killing people with the gun.

Its so disgusting. How did this happen to our nation.

I think the electoral college was a big step to the decline of american culture. Maybe we should consider repealing that legislature and returning to a partyless system where the second place winner gets vice president, and not 'elect a president and get everyone they care to bring with them at the same time absolutely free!' .

Maybe we should just outlaw republicans forever.

First of all to the nazi navy squid that wrote the article.
You are not defending the constitution.
You have an obligation to disobey any and all orders that conflict with
violations of either the constitution or on a lesser note the geneva convention.
When he is up in front of a war crimes tribunal he will say.
"Gee, how was I to know, I was just following orders."
This squid dosent know shit.

secondly to the guys who dont like the protesters exercising thier 1st amendment rights.
We are allowed as americans bonded by a social contract to express our civil rights as listed in the
bill of rights of the constitution whenever necessary.
Those that oppress the constitution are traitors and enemies of freedom.

Thirdly to the "freedom" post
you are an idiot because there were no iraqis on the 911 airplane nor any connections to terrorists
produced to warrant an indictment of Iraq as a nation.
Plus, We at indymedia are not stupid enough to fall for some bullshit highschool prank
where some dumbfuck leaves his enemies phone # and address.
Eat shit and die you fuckin pogue.

Freedom I weep for you and tonight I say a prayer for you.
god bless, and may your hateful and violent wishes never come upon you.

Any of you in L.A. and elsewhere who think that Saddam has not wanted us dead since before 1990; and who think the money for Bin Ladin's WTC attack did not come at least in part from Saddam (a billionare), are idiots!!! The terrorists missed the mark when they went for New York and our financial system. They should have targeted the liberals in Hollywood who pedal their "Art" (smut and VIOLENCE) throughout the world and then cry "Peace" to get some press as soon as the Media is occupied with something other than them for a change. Maybe next time the terrorists can do us all a favor and bomb L.A., the studios or at the very least the precious Hollywood sign!

Thanks, Gina, for being one of our most loyal viewers. We are glad to know that you'll believe anything that we tell you. Oh, how we love the redneck demographic! We distort, you comply.

BTW lets take a quick hand count. How many of you protestors who have the nerve to call our soldiers "Baby Killers" are pro-choice?

Yes, we just love the hypocrisy of our conservative demographic. Fascists like Gina think it's alright to kill babies, as long as they aren't Americans. Abortion, bad; child slaughter, good.

Oh.....so the fetus was given plenty of warning to get out of the way of the saline and suction and just chose not to comply? Now who has a double standard? Abortion is convenient but war is murder?

Oh, yes, those slaughtered children were "given plenty of warning to get out of the way" of the bullets. Keep thinking with your head up your ass. That's the way we like it.

So lack of intelligent thought does result in swearing!

I wouldn't know intelligent thought if it bit me on my cellulite-laden ARSE. I don't swear! Why? Because I'm a religious nutcase.

So we see. At least you're truthful about it. Just keep watching Fox. We distort, you comply.

Have you decided on whether or not you'll help us blow up that abortion clinic?

we all dont wwant war but do we want suaddam to make bombs and then kill us ? do you know that he attacts his own people? and kills them!Some people say o well it is not are right to go and free them blah blah blah but it is becuse it says united states of america united means we need to stick by our persent and not by what other people think!Yes our men are fighting out on the lines FOR OUR FREEDOME and yes people are going to die but in every war people die for our freedoom, GORGE WASHTIONTON DIED FOR OUR FREE DOME
in what way do you think it is ok?yes my friend is out on the line it scars me but he said to me
"If i have to die for our contrey i will do so!!!"so think before you talk( i brlive abortion is wrong but that is a diffent subjest if you want to talk to me about any of those e-mail me at savesbygrace@aol.com

god bless the us

Is a Punch & Judy meatpuppet show with the same blood
stained arms shoved up the ass of who ever has the
center stage.
Sad to watch people so effected by the cheap entertainment.

Why are the protesters doing what they are doing when we are going to go war without their help and coments! Although we have already won OPERATION IRAQ FREEDOOM: and i suport Bush all the way100%!

Thanks for watching! Bill and Shawn send their best wishes.

oh god please help the USA and the people in it
