Matthis: Ya know who I remind me of?
We’ve heard from several of the IVAW members on what they think of Matthis and his flag burning antics over the last few weeks but this is the height of conceit. Matthis Chiroux tells us “I’m not like Martin Luther King, Junior, but ya know who is like Martin Luther King? Me!
Branum takes another life
James Branum, the guy who calls himself the GI Rights lawyer, has destroyed another life – this time it’s a young soldier by the name of Eric Jasinski. A Fort Hood soldier who failed to deploy with his unit to Iraq in December 2007 will spend at least 27 days in the Bell County jail. […]
Solidarity with Matthis

Yes, there is a lot of drama over Matthis’ flag burning adventure last weekend. A good number of IVAW members oppose the utterly pointless demonstration by Matthis, Robyn Murray and Elaine Brower. You can hear Elaine Brower, whose Marine Corps son has completed at least three tours of the War Against Terror, screech “That’s what […]
Travis Bishop’s uninformed BS
Travis Bishop, the IVAW member who was sentenced to a year in prison after going AWOL before he signed his conscientious objector paperwork last year, has been released after serving nine months. Of course, he credits the campaign by Amnesty International, Courage to Resist and countless other misinformed malcontents for his early release at TruthOut. […]
