They aren't doing anything to take away people's rights. In fact, they're fighting for the rights of all people when they disrupt the imperialist U.S. war effort.

Please make an attempt to understand that virtually all recruits are processed into obedient killing machines and then sent to Iraq to kill and possibly die. It's not for "freedom" or their country that they're dying for, but just to line the pockets of the elite with more money. That's all the war is, an excuse to expand markets and thus fill the coffers of the rich even more. And if you support the war still, ask yourself if the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians is worth the extra power being put into the hands of some of the most evil men on the planet.

I'm not saying that every soldier is a baby-killer or anything. All I'm saying is that if you're ignorant enough to join the military to go fight a rich man's war, then you are the "thug".
