At Winter Soldier II: Will You Sign an Affidavit? Nope

YAF's Jason Mattera hits up the event

By Ericka Andersen Posted in Comments (11) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »

Jason Mattera of Young America’s Foundation is at it again. He took to the streets of the Winter Soldier II event hosted by Iraq Veterans Against the War to ask participants if they would sign an affidavit or sworn testimony to the war crimes they claim to have witnessed or committed in Iraq.

The first Winter Soldier crew – John Kerry and friends – refused to do so and it’s clear the next generation is just as unwilling. Only one man in this video said he would sign a affidavit while the others said they would not or simply spoke around the issue.

These men are willing to speak openly on the immoral acts they saw overseas yet they will not commit to their own words:


On the IVAW blog after the event, participant and South Central Region Coordinator Justin C. Cliburn wrote:

"The only reason I heard about the original Winter Soldier was because of so many slandering the military service of John Kerry in 2004. Don't let that happen to us; keep the memory of Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan alive..."

Legally documenting testimony might be a good way to preserve the memory he wants to live on.

What are you blubbering about? by Nick Bronco amc...

War is hell. You knew that going in to it. Now why the hell don't these Jesus freak looking cavemen jump on the victory wagon and win this war? We need to win, and quick. My truck fuel is now $4.00!! We need that oil, why else did we invade? Oh yeah. Anyhow, Uber Bitch and Chocolate boy aren't going to agressively go after the oil that these idiot ragheads can't manage, so we will have to step up our efforts (take the Emirates or Saudi Arabia...good soft targets)and crush these muslim monsters.

This is your University's TOS.

Don't come back.

Man Up by Nick Bronco amc...

Y'all wonder why these islamist monsters got our number? You're soft that's why. Breaks my heart to see folks that are supposed to be on the Right side spooked by words....How else do you expect to win? Look at the fix we're in. Our best efforts have produced John McCain, Barak HUSSIEN Obama and of course...another Clinton. Sheesh. Now is the time for extreme measures. Put up the Bibles and break out the Shotguns...it's war!

And then head on over to Dkos and let them know we banned you for being a FOOL!

Please detox ASAP

You know, as a former infantryman, I’ve been known to have a penchant for Frontier-Mark-Twain potty mouth. I haven’t blistered paint at 50 yards yet (that I know of), but it can get pretty heated.

However, I visit (and am a member of) Redstate to engage in reasoned discourse, with an ideological tilt.

Let me say that again: Reasoned Discourse.

The intelligent exchange of ideas. Even liberal ones, although there is rarely anything “intelligent” about them to discuss.

Had you something substantive to offer, Nick, there are folks here who would have been happy to engage you, offering information, enlightenment, and maybe (just maybe) grudging respect, should any of your positions hold legitimate merit.

Alas, DKos is where you belong, amongst the other liberal gibbering idiots who bandy about vulgarity with the childish glee of a kid on the playground trying to impress his friends with his adult use of a new four letter idiom.

See kids? Look how gooooood I can cuss. I can use one of them every other word in a sentence. I’m almost a man, now.

Why is it that cognitively challenged persons like yourself seem to have your craniums permanently upserted into your posterior ends? Is it just that you like the smell? The view?

As the article above illustrates, your kind are ready and willing to make bombastic claims for the purposes of attention, yet when it comes time to put up or shut up, you slink away like the above mentioned potty-mouth child confronted with the Principal.

I’m sure you’ve been appropriately blammed by now, but you may just crawl back to read some responses to your little testicle-less outburst.

Well then, here ya go.

A bit of advice: Try thinking more, and speaking less.

Or, to paraphrase someone else: Never miss a good opportunity to shut up.
