Any Democrat that doesn't condition their vote on defunding the Iran War is unequivocally pro-war. Democratic leaders are fine with symbolic war powers votes (they know it's politically wise to appear anti-war) but get real squeamish when actual money/consequences are at play.

This is wild because it *totally eliminates* disability compensation for the single most common claim: “Severe, constant tinnitus” … what i imagine most Epic Fury veterans are coming home with

Democrats fail to call for a recorded vote and GOP passes its bill that cuts veteran disability benefits and forces veterans to pay more to use VA home loan benefits … on Veterans Day This is the type of thing that would ideally be paid attention to and handled by party leadership. In this case, that would be Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Whip Katherine Clark. This is less than 24 hours after they failed to whip members on a vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed by a 210-204 vote margin with 11 absent Dem members.

Did you know our full-time staff are all veterans? Each had their own crisis of conscience, and now dedicate themselves to helping other service members refuse participation on war. Meet them here for Veterans Day: centeronconscience.org/staff…

Hegseth is quite literally taking the opposite approach, hiding behind rhetoric about "the troops" to avoid accountability for his own decisions.

Historic Dem victory in ‘08 over Iraq War. 8yrs of more death let Trump’s “anti-war” rhetoric propel him through the primary & general; a promise he abandoned then lost to Biden. The Gaza War proved consequential in Harris’ loss. Now, another historic swing on anti-war sentiments

Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election. Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.

One more approval today, for yet another CO who filed a claim while deployed to the Iran War.

Just this week, two of our clients have received recommendations for approval as Conscientious Objectors; and one returned to their family after filing for CO on an Epic Fury deployment.

"Investigative and emotional, dystopian and comical. For a film about toxic waste and fossil fuel budgets, Earth’s Greatest Enemy has some unexpected reference points. Martin and Prysner name the confrontational humor of Michael Moore, Travis Wilkerson’s experimental political essay An Injury to One, and Ron Fricke’s wordless, music-led Samsara. You can see all three in the way it moves." Great review of Earth's Greatest Enemy for iN Nairobi innairobi.com/earths-greates…

One of the first soldiers to refuse Vietnam service was an Army doctor who said the war was a violation of his hippocratic oath. That spirit is alive and well—the most common job of our CO clients today is military physician. Hear from some of them here:
