IVAW (Iraq Veterans Against the War)*
*The organization's name "Iraq Veterans Against the War" does not mean that actual military service in Iraq is required for membership...and of course no one might be misled to think otherwise by the name "Iraq Veterans..."!

VVAW (Vietnam Veterans Against the War)
This & That:
John Kerry's apology for claiming in 1971 that 200,000 Vietnamese per year were being "murdered by the United States of America" - NOT! (a Kerry spokesman says the Senator "used a word he deems inappropriate")
Veterans For Peace sponsors IVAW and by that gives the latter its "In order to give our veterans the necessary space and attention we deserve to tell our stories, we are requesting that, during Winter Soldier, March 13-16, the larger anti-war movement calls no national mobilizations and that there are no local protests or civil disobedience actions in Washington DC. IVAW will not endorse any mass mobilizations or DC-based actions that conflict with Winter Soldier. We feel that large-scale activities will compete with Winter Soldier and dilute the voices of those testifying."
