Beat the Pentagon!

This video from Brave New Films:

Rethink Afghanistan [click here] is related to the article I posted mentioning “Operation Moshtarak”, called Marja, Afghanistan: Pentagon Propaganda taken to new heights!

Derrick Crowe, Robert Greenwald and the Brave New Foundation team remind us that the military-industrial complex has a well-oiled message machine. Just look at their latest video: despite killing more civilians in Marjah, Afghanistan, than the insurgents, the Pentagon is furiously spinning Operation Moshtarak as a move to “protect the people.”

As Peace activist plan to rally in Chicago, LA, San Francisco, and Washington, DC grassroots groups that were instrumental in getting Democrats elected to Congress and the Obama campaign for President are now united in an effort to show that there is very little difference between Republicans and Democrats in the Congress or White House.

The military-industrial complex has a well-oiled message machine. Just look at the Pentagon’s latest video: despite killing more civilians in Marjah, Afghanistan, than the insurgents, the Pentagon is furiously spinning Operation Moshtarak as a move to “protect the people.”The film makers at Brave New Films via Rethink Afghanistan are working to counteract the Defense Industry propaganda machine every day, especially when it comes to the bloody, costly Afghanistan war.

But, they need our help. Can you forward this video to three of your friends?

On Facebook, Rethink Afghanistan is taking the Pentagon on directly. Right now, the Defense Department has 22,157 fans. Rethink Afghanistan has 14,440. They are throwing down the gauntlet to the Pentagon, and they want to beat them. If you’re on Facebook, please become a fan and suggest us to your friends.

Readers are more than welcome to use the articles I've posted on Veterans Today, I've had to take a break from VT as Veterans Issues and Peace Activism Editor and staff writer due to personal medical reasons in our military family that take away too much time needed to properly express future stories or respond to readers in a timely manner. My association with VT since its founding in 2004 has been a very rewarding experience for me. Retired from both the Air Force and Civil Service. Went in the regular Army at 17 during Vietnam (1968), stayed in the Army Reserve to complete my eight year commitment in 1976. Served in Air Defense Artillery, and a Mechanized Infantry Division (4MID) at Fort Carson, Co. Used the GI Bill to go to college, worked full time at the VA, and non-scholarship Air Force 2-Year ROTC program for prior service military. Commissioned in the Air Force in 1977. Served as a Military Intelligence Officer from 1977 to 1994. Upon retirement I entered retail drugstore management training with Safeway Drugs Stores in California. Retail Sales Management was not my cup of tea, so I applied my former U.S. Civil Service status with the VA to get my foot in the door at the Justice Department, and later Department of the Navy retiring with disability from the Civil Service in 2000. I've been with Veterans Today since the site originated. I'm now on the Editorial Board. I was also on the Editorial Board of Our Troops News Ladder another progressive leaning Veterans and Military Family news clearing house. I remain married for over 45 years. I am both a Vietnam Era and Gulf War Veteran. I served on Okinawa and Fort Carson, Colorado during Vietnam and in the Office of the Air Force Inspector General at Norton AFB, CA during Desert Storm. I retired from the Air Force in 1994 having worked on the Air Staff and Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon.
