IVAW’s mixed message
The IVAW board has decided to take action against Carl Webb, but not how you might think. Webb has advocated for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan to sabotage equipment and hinder our efforts there, putting the troops in more danger. But the IVAW says that’s not against it’s rules. The Board has warned Webb against […]
The IVAW Board Series: Seth Manzel
When I first started reading about Seth Manzel, I thought I was going to have to write a bio like TSO wrote yesterday for Cameron White. Manzel is one of the few who actually served in Iraq (2004-2005) and he’d served in an old regiment of mine (the 5th Infantry). So I settled in for […]
The IVAW Board Series; Michael Kindlinger
In our continuing series of the prospective members of the IVAW Board of Directors, I’d like you to meet Michael “Trey” Kindlinger. For military service, Kindlinger says he spent nine years in the Navy. Then, suddenly, in 2003 (after said nine years) he discovered he’s a conscientious objector – he claims it’s because of his […]
The IVAW Board series; TJ Buonomo
As TSO wrote last night, we’ve come into possession of the actual applications for the eight folks who endeavor to occupy those seats around the IVAW Board of Directors table. And a stellar group they are. Since there’s eight of them, we’ve decided to split them up between us and hit you with one every […]
Everyone comes to TAH; the Andre Shepherd version
Yes, everyone comes to This Ain’t Hell sooner or later. Everyone we’ve written about has eventually had someone who knew them “back when” come forward and tell us their back story. Today we feature a tale about Andre Shepherd, the soldier who went AWOL in Europe and is applying for refugee status to avoid doing […]
Mejia on Carl Webb
Some of you may remember the investigation we did on Carl Webb a month-and-a-half ago. Webb made several comments on the internet that urged members of the military to sabotage equipment and otherwise disrupt military operations while stationed in Iraq. We had Webb’s military records and proved that he wasn’t eligible for membership in IVAW. […]
9-12 candidate Kokesh
I got simultaneous emails from Coby Dillard and Chris Hill this morning about one of the newest “9-12 candidates”. 9/12.org was apparently founded to highlight the candidacy of potential politicians who share their values and principles. Why they let this guy in is beyond me; If you go to the page wherein this organization endorses […]
Christians for Peace march in Killeen
An article in the Killeen Daily Herald reports that a bunch of hippies from Austin and Waco descended upon Fort Hood and Killeen Texas this weekend. Of course, they began their silent march at the IVAW “Under the Hood” cafe. I don’t believe that a more naive bunch of people exist. It sounds to me […]
