Why did we have so many active duty soldiers protesting the war in Iraq right in front of the military base?

Question

They did not cover their face and walked proudly holding anti war signs. ( ( Happened in Michigan )

Answer 1

Actually the constitution does not apply for military personnel like some one above said. Military people can't protest or picket. We signed the contract therfore we waived our constitutional rights.

But anyways to answer the question...you're a douche. You're a pathetic wannabe who claims to have served. So I'm guessing that if in fact you even did serve you got discharged for being a sh!t bird. You have multiple posts with anti-american slander but not a single one of them have any credible proof of your accusations.

Get a f*cking life. You ***** and complain about how dissgraceful the Military is but the sad truth is that your only way of getting people to listen to your opinion is by coming on Yahoo Answers. Way to be productive and voice out your opinion. Fight the power...you piece of sh!t.

Answer 2

Wow this could be a competent question. I shop going to and fro. So right it extremely is my very final answer. i think that if the warriors who've already fought over there and no what it extremely is like then they might have a case. I quite have a great protection stress kinfolk and that i'm marrying a Marine. My guy says that this conflict is in no way going to end. The Iraqi people or perhaps the police do no longer choose them to be there and that they gained't carry a democracy no person cares. it is so terrible over there all his acquaintances say...unhappy. My fiance says that He talking for himself desires to help Iraqi's over there and that they have got achieved plenty to help rebuild them even in spite of the shown fact that it is going unappreciated by many and he even mentioned that the police there have become insurgents because of the fact of additional funds and comparable with the Iraqi protection stress. on the different hand there must be those in the protection stress that are in basic terms scared or unwell of going over there. Frankly, i do no longer see an end to this conflict. we are in a position to no longer in basic terms pull those sort of troops out of there. it will be nuts if we try this. yet a graduate pull out could be in shop.

Answer 3

What source(s) are you basing this question on. True, the military may have a few soldier who may not agree with the war in Iraq. Sorry this don't sound right nor does this question.

Answer 4

We have a base in Michigan?
This is going too far!
I am dead set against the war but I do not support troops demonstrating either. They are adults, they made thier decision, I won't feel sorry if they get disciplined.

Answer 5

SOURCE? Every time you post some crap like this, we ask for source, but you continue to not have any sources. Surely there was some press idiot there with a camera. There must be 1 picture you could link.

But, WHY? Soldiers are American citizens. They are allowed to protest...constitution applies to them also.

EDIT: PS. There is not a military base in Michigan. There is an air national guard unit...30 miles north of detroit ,i

Answer 6

Those US soldiers that are protesting the war are showing their frustration in trying to keep crazy Arabs from killing each other and for the futile effort in trying to build a civilized country in Iraq.

Answer 7

Because the war is illegal...just because you are a soldier doesn't mean you have no brains.

Any thinking person would know that we had no right to invade Iraq and we have no business staying.

Please read about "Veterans Against the War"....

Answer 8

Because there are proud soldiers..not terrorist.
The US has becoming like a terrorist nation lately..using the law and its military might to attack just any country..digging every cents from Iraq to fuel its war machine..that why..

Answer 9

Perhaps there are not enough civilians to come forward and support the active duty soldiers.

Answer 10

There is NO active duty base in Michigan!
