Veterans for Peace makes its (grave) mark
Please consider reviewing our website and joining us if you feel so led. www.SDVFP.org Gil Field— November 13, 2014 9:40 p.m.
Weekly protests at General Atomics pass the one-year mark
As usual, the press does not quite present the true purpose of the demonstration each Thursday. Of course, we see nothing inherently wrong with drone technology .... it's how the drones are used and regulated that concerns us. Many veterans believe that the current use of drones by the CIA and Air Force in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and other countries does more harm than good, and is the best recruiting tool that AQ has going for it. Once you kill a family by accident, you terrorize an entire village and send them over to the other side. Drones can be used for a whole variety of legitimate purposes (looking for lost people, legitimate security concerns) but can also be used in a variety of unconstitutional ways to allow our government to watch us when they have no business doing so. Right now, the Baptists can buy a drone and watch the Methodists, the police can watch anyone, and our laws and protections under the US Constitution are in jeopardy. Want a drone over your next backyard party ? Why not. As veterans and combat veterans from Korea, Vietnam, Iraq I and the current wars, we believe we have the knowledge and background to stand out on the corner and question what our government is doing in our name. Join us. (Member San Diego Veterans For Peace).— August 17, 2013 9:25 p.m.
