Inspiring, and reassuring-- WEST POINT GRADUATES AGAINST THE WAR "Duty, Honor, Country." Weapons of mass destruction LIE! Saddam linked with 9/11 LIE! “We don’t torture.” LIE! "A cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do."Cadet Honor Code WHY DIE FOR A LIE? WHY KILL FOR A LIE? WHY TOLERATE LIARS? "When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war." (2) "I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its stupidity. War settles nothing." (3) "Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion." (4) "If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison. They’ll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must not bow his neck to any dictatorial government." (5) Dwight D. Eisenhower 34th President of the United States (1953-1961) STOP THE DYING FOR LIES STOP THE KILLING FOR LIES Say no to this illegal, dishonorable war Eisenhower Citations: 1.
