Leopard shows his spots
Remember that old yarn about how IVAW loves America, believes in the Constitutional protection of free speech, how they only do this for the soldiers…..
Well, reconcile that with this email Camilo Mejia sent to our frenemy Army Sergeant if you can.
What you have before you, Selena, is a typical GI Resistance publication, Vietnam-era style. Many such publications were the work of civilians who were working alongside GIs, which is the case of GI Special. Tom Barton works with members of VFP, IVAW, VVAW, etc and they reprint articles from papers like the Army Times, and from web sites such as our very own.
Your opinion of this publication is a reflection of just how out of touch you are with the organization you’re in. Have you ever checked out Vets For Freedom? They loooove the constitution, they’re flag waving patriots, and they want troops to reenlist. I bet they would have a similar opinion to yours about GI Special.
I’m not going to waste too much on this, Selena, but I really think you should explore other organizations that would better meet your desire to be a hard core patriot. IVAW is really not that place.
Yours truly,

This is the same man who can’t keep his stories straight between one appearance and his book.
Isn’t it about time for the DoD to classify these guys as subversive?

As a member of Vets for Freedom, I’d like to not only take pride in IVAW’s criticism of us, but also extend the olive branch to Army Sergeant. Good for you for saying what you believe, even if it wasn’t popular with those you worked with.
In the WWII movies where the Japanese soldiers scream all night from the jungle, “You gonna die GI” is a good description of “GI Special”.
“GI Special” celebrates the death of US troops. They reprint the press accounts but put their own headlines and the enemy isn’t the enemy, it’s the resistance that slaughters the occupiers.
In an earlier time, not that long agot, Tom Barton and his associates would be swinging from a Givernment Issued rope for their treason.
I couldn’t view the E-mail,but am curious as to whats going on..anyone else have a link?

I did go there but it only references the email.
Look under that one, it is embedded in her post “Newsflash.”
Never mind, I found it.
“I’m not going to waste too much on this, Selena, but I really think you should explore other organizations that would better meet your desire to be a hard core patriot. IVAW is really not that place.”
Those two sentances speak volumes about IVAW…
This is all history repeating itself.

The only difference this time is that it looks like this time the communists are winning.
