Texas Labor Against the War

Friday from 4 to 6 p.m., Under the Hood will demonstrate opposition to the
upcoming deployment of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment from Fort Hood,
Texas, scheduled to occur sometime next month.

After gathering at the Under the Hood Cafe, located at 17 S. College St. in
Killeen, we will march to the East Gate of Fort Hood to hold a rally in
support of the Troops being forced needlessly to suffer as a result of the
illegitimate and unwinnable occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The 3rd ACR is notorious for repeatedly deploying wounded warriors. In
addition to demanding an end to the occupations, we are demanding an end to
the 3rd ACR’s policy of deploying Soldiers with PTSD (post-traumatic stress
disorder), TBI (traumatic brain disorder), MST (military sexual trauma) and
physical trauma. Soldiers suffering from such issues SHOULD NOT BE DEPLOYED
NOW OR EVER!!!

The military’s hold over its Soldiers is at the breaking point. More and
more, Soldiers are turning away from the lies of Empire and discovering what
real democracy and service looks like. Each time we publicly demonstrate in
the Fort Hood community, we see a surge of troops and family members in the
coffeehouse asking questions and making themselves a part of the
international struggle for peace. Visible resistance is a MUST if we are to
continue building support to end the occupations and secure justice for the
people of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well our own troops.

Come be a part of this exciting demonstration, and help the Under the Hood
community continue to support Soldiers removing their support for the wars!
