Republican Congressman Justin Amash also took to Twitter to state, “I’ve been hearing a lot from members of our Armed Forces. The message I consistently hear: Please vote no on military action against Syria”. Amash’s statement was followed by a series of tweets from military veterans who also expressed their opposition to the attack.
US military revolt against Obama’s decision to 'support Al-Qaeda in Syria'
A military revolt against the Obama administration’s plan to launch a potentially disastrous attack on Syria is gathering pace, with both top brass and regular service members express their vehement opposition to the United States becoming entangled in the conflict. The backlash began to spread on social media yesterday with numerous members of the military posting photos of themselves holding up signs stating that they would refuse to fight on the same side as Al-Qaeda in Syria. Others have posted their photos on Twitter alongside the hashtag #IdidntJoin.
As
the Obama administration prepares to present a draft resolution to
lawmakers that is by no means “limited” in its scope and would in fact
grease the skids for an open ended war, John Kerry and other State
Department officials have signaled that Obama will simply ignore
Congress, if it votes no, and launch the assault anyway.
This
will do little to reassure a growing number of influential figures in
the US military who are becoming increasingly recalcitrant about the
United States becoming embroiled in yet another war in the Middle East.
The Washington Post reports
that, “The Obama administration’s plan to launch a military strike
against Syria is being received with serious reservations by many in the
US military, which is coping with the scars of two lengthy wars and a
rapidly contracting budget, according to current and former officers”.
Republican Congressman Justin Amash also took to Twitter to state, “I’ve been hearing a lot from members of our Armed Forces. The message I consistently hear: Please vote no on military action against Syria”. Amash’s statement was followed by a series of tweets from military veterans who also expressed their opposition to the attack.
Business Insider’s Paul Szoldra
also spoke to “sources who are either veterans or currently on active
duty in the military,” and asked them if they supported military
escalation in Syria.
“Most have responded with a resounding no,” writes Szoldra.
He
quotes an active duty First Class Sergeant who states, “We are
stretched thin, tired, and broke,” adding that the United States “(does
not) need to be the World Police”.
“Our
involvement in Syria is so dangerous on so many levels, and the 21st
century American vet is more keen to avoid this than anybody. It boggles
my mind that we are being ignored,” adds former Cpl. Jack Mandaville, a
Marine Corps infantry veteran with 3 deployments to Iraq.
Not only are military personnel going public with their concerns, Politico reported
that leaks of attack plans are also, “emanating from a Pentagon
bureaucracy less enthusiastic about the prospect of an attack than, say,
the State Department, National Security Council or Obama himself,”
unauthorized disclosures that have the White House “peeved”.
