He
said it, not me.
In
the recent political battle around the Marine recruiting station in
Berkeley there has been much confusion around the concept or slogan of
"supporting the troops," but opposing the unjust wars of the Bush
regime. Many who oppose the Bush regime wars also say they "support the
troops." Let me say it straight out—I do not support the troops and
neither should you. It is objectively impossible to support the troops
of the imperialist military forces of the U.S. and at the same time
oppose the wars in which they fight. (emphasis mine)
...
If you "support
the troops" in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the other more than 100 countries
in which they are located, you also objectively support U.S. hegemony
in the world. I believe that the vast majority of people who say they
support the troops do not wish to support U.S. imperialism, but that is
what they are really doing by putting forth the slogan of "support the
troops."
Kenneth J. Theisen is one of the organizers of the "
World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!".
This is the same far leftist group that sponsors many of the anti-war
protests we've seen here in our country and around the world.
