I did not join for this’: US military men speak out against Syria strike
Many US servicemen are against the looming strike on Syria, Republican Congressman Justin Amash said on Twitter, in an attempt to counter the idea that the country might be overwhelmingly in favor of military action.
Amash made his comments after President Barack Obama’s statement, in which he all but promised a strike in retaliation for the supposed use of chemical agents by the Syrian government.
The Congressman for Michigan backed up his comments with a multitude of retweets from servicemen.
Amash said he had been “hearing a lot from members of our Armed Forces" and said that "the message I consistently hear [is]: Please vote no on military action against Syria."
The US Congress is expected to debate and vote on military action soon after it returns from summer recess on September 9.
Amash has since been re-tweeting anti-intervention comments sent by members and veterans of the US armed forces. Many cite experiences of Iraq and Afghanistan that have steered them in this direction. Here is a selection of some of those tweets:

其实,美国统治集团最害怕的就是美国国内民众、士兵、情报等部门人员的觉悟和违抗,而不是害怕所谓的外国恐怖主义分子。近来发生的曼寧和斯诺登事件仅仅是近十多年来美国发生多起重大反水事件中的一两个事件罢了,美国上层腐败下层违抗的趋向已越来越严重和表面化。到了某个时候,这座失去了根基的帝国大夏就要瞬间倒塌。

911后美国这么折腾全世界,如果美国人还不觉醒,那可是悲哀

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has failed so far to convince most Americans that the United States should launch a limited military strike against Syria in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack by the Syrian government, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Tuesday.
根据最新报道,由于美国国内反对向叙利亚动武的呼声高涨,现在连参众两院能否通过动武提案也成了很大疑问

不是已经通过了么?对此俺一点也不怀疑,提出议案和表决议案的都是一个老板,怎么可能不过。当初反越战的时候,政府开枪杀人了,现在时代进步了,有橡皮子弹和催泪瓦斯,不会再搞出血淋淋的局面,不过结果结果都不会变的。
