Traveling Soldier

What appears to be a voice for working class soldiers against the Iraq War is on line at:

Traveling-Soldier.org

From their mission statement:

Telling the truth – about the occupation, the cuts to veterans benefits, or the dangers of depleted uranium – is the first reason Traveling Soldier is necessary. But we want to do more than tell the truth; we want to report on the resistance to those on top – whether it’s in the streets of Baghdad, New York, or inside the armed forces.

For this, we might be criticized for not being “objective” or “balanced”. We aren’t. We proudly take the side of our class – working people and the oppressed the world over – against those who use their wealth and power to make our lives hell. But producing this newsletter for people in the armed forces is about more than telling the truth. Our goal is for Traveling Soldier to become the thread that ties working-class people inside the armed services together. We want this newsletter to be a weapon to help you organize resistance within the armed forces – and that can’t happen without you.
