Navy seaman Jonathan Hutto has initiated an Appeal for Redress^[1], a letter that has gained support from more than 1000 military personel, many in active duty.

The Nation reports:

Not since 1969, when some 1,300 active-duty military personnel signed an open letter in the New York Times opposing the war in Vietnam, has there been such a dramatic barometer of rising military dissent.

One of the signers, “Lisa”, wrote:

I joined up two weeks after I turned 17 because I wanted to save American lives. I wanted to be a hero like any American child.

I supported the war when I joined because I thought it was justified. Only after my own research and the truth coming out did I learn how wrong I was, how–for lack of a better word–how brainwashed I was.

Now I know the war is illegal, unjustified and that our troops have no reason for being there.

Lisa is probably refering to the fabricated evidence that led us to war, among other things. Kudos to the many brave soldiers who’ve risked physical loss and who now risk other losses in order to stand for what they know to be right.

Update: Another article was recently published at truthout which verifies Tony Blair’s foreknowledge.
