> We are an organization of veterans of the armed

> have been to war and have seen what military power
> can and cannot
> accomplish. We know what war does to those who fight
> it and those who live
> where it is fought. We hear our government loudly

> servicemen and women as they are sent into battle
> but have seen it turn its

> and mental wounds, from
> the Vietnam and Gulf wars.
> We agree with Congresswoman Barbara Lee that
> "military action will not
> prevent further acts of international terrorism
> against the United States".
> The use of massive military power will only escalate
> the cycle of violence,
> spreading more death and destruction to more
> innocent people with no end in
> sight.
> Afghanistan has already been destroyed by 20 years
> of foreign occupation,
> civil war and religious repression. Both the British
> and Soviet armies were
> unable conquer that country. We see many parallels
> between Vietnam and
> Afghanistan but the lessons we should have learned
> from the war in Vietnam
> are being ignored today.
> We speak out of duty to our country and the world,
> solidarity with those
> serving in the military and love of our families and
> friends when we take
> this stand:
> *We condemn the criminal attacks of September 11 and
> demand that those
> responsible be held accountable and brought to
> justice.
> *We mourn for the victims and offer our heartfelt
> sorrow and sympathy to the
> families and friends of those we lost.
> *We condemn bigotry and violence against Arabs,
> Muslims and immigrants which
> threaten these communities because of their race,
> nationality and religion.
> *We oppose efforts to curtail our basic civil
> liberties and democratic
> rights and must defend the Constitution from those
> who are undermining it.
> *We do not believe that militarism and war will
> provide justice or security
> and oppose major US military intervention in
> Afghanistan or other countries.
> On a more fundamental level, our country has to
> address the reasons behind
> the violence that has now come to our shores. The
> seeds of this anger and
> hatred were sown over many years.
> For over a century, Western corporations have
> dominated the Middle East to
> profit from its oil. For the last 50 years, the
> United States has supported
> Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands and has
> helped prop up corrupt
> regimes in some Arab countries. The continued
> American troop presence in
> Saudi Arabia and the suffering of the Iraqi people
> under economic sanctions
> has added to this resentment.
> As long as US foreign policy continues to be based
> on corporate exploitation
> and military domination, we will continue to make
> more enemies in the poor,
> underdeveloped countries of Asia, Africa and Latin
> America. We can achieve
> enduring security and lasting peace only through
> domestic and foreign
