Great "traitors" of recent American History
Dillan Stone
So, now the Dover allies, eager to blame their failures in war on anyone other than themselves, has decided to call out the USWP as traitors. Funny.
I have been speaking out against the war in France since day 1. Does that make me a traitor? I suppose our RL President-elect is a traitor too, for speaking against the war in Iraq. I suppose John Kerry was a traitor for speaking out against the Vietnam War. Or Mohammed Ali for that matter.
Disagreement is not treason. Failure to tolerate disagreement, however, is treasonous to everything America stands for.
Then again, so is this war.
We dissent from the war because we honestly believe that this war is BAD for the entire country. Not just us. The U.S. Doing what we believe is in the best interest of the country is not treason.
Note that the accusers have not come up with a single incident of actual betrayal. Only dissent. There is no evidence - not one whatsoever - of the USWP as a group donating money to our enemies in this war, or of donating weapons, or of fighting alongside PEACE against the US.
Because there has been none. Those of us who are against this war speak out against it, but we do not betray the United States.
By the way - until about 2 or 3 days ago, I was not in the USWP - and it was mainly because the USWP endorsed the chickenhawk Dover who got us into this war. I left the USWP because I believed all of the top parties were pro-war. And all of them were wrong. I don't speak "for" the USWP, and the USWP doesn't speak "for" me - but on the war, we now agree. I speak for myself, however. And I think I speak for every other dissenter against this foolish war.
The Truth is, there are people who are ashamed of their failure, and are just lashing out for someone to blame their losses on. A convenient scapegoat. It's politically easier to blame someone else than it is to accept that the other side was right all along, after all.
So string up the noose, if that's your pleasure. I would rather stand along side men like Obama, Kerry and Ali, than stand along side the small-minded who condemned them in their time for speaking Truth to Power.

War is good for big business. Especially if the big business is owned by those eager to go to war. One company that comes to mind is Halliburton. We have a few "Halliburtons" in the eUSA.
interesting article, voted.
Who are the Dover allies?
Whoo - hoo!!!
Let's go conflate real life with a freaking game!!
This is exactly and precisely why Pakistan and Indonesia are such dominant powers on this game - they understand that its a game -not a chance to pretend that they're Obama.
"We dissent from the war because we honestly believe that this war is BAD for the entire country. Not just us. The U.S. Doing what we believe is in the best interest of the country is not treason."
*You* are deciding what you feel is in the best interest of the country. The country voted to go to war. The current administration that is currently in charge of the country (aka, not you or your party), so by defying orders and chosing your own, different course is TREASON.
By definition - a crime that undermines the offender's government.
Choosing to speak out against the war was not treason. It was deciding to let our country go to battle and sit on your hands and refuse to do anything that was treason. It was the call to lay down your weapons and not to fight, an order NOT given by our administration, that was treason. Get your facts straight.
You don't side beside people like Obama, you sit besides people like Adam Gadahn.

lol you're a joke. Those against the war in Iraq don't go around trying to ruin the war efforts, the hippies did and they lost us a war. BTW even Obama isn't gonna just pull out of Iraq. Even real life liberals like Obama see the point in promoting freedom and living up to our word.
That said the war IRL and in Erep are two very different wars for two very different reason, but way to pretend they're similar.
This is not the place to discuss RL things like what or who did or did not cause us to do whatever. There was more to Vietnam than the "hippies" causing us to lose it. Many Vietnam Vets were against that war as well.
And, yes, there are those against the War in Iraq that are trying to ruin the war efforts. There are people in every war who are for and against it. Both call the others traitors - and both are wrong.
I guess this opinion will get long-winded. It belongs in its own article.
"the hippies did and they lost us a war"??
ARE YOU F***ING SERIOUS?!?!?!
THE "HIPPIES" DID NOT, I REPEAT DID
****
NOT!!!
****
LOSE US THE WAR IN VIETNAM.
THATS LIKE SAYING RON PAUL MADE THE DEMOCRATS WIN IN 2008.
AND IS HORRIBLY IGNORANT OF YOU.
Thanks, Jamie. I was there. I know.
