Stuart,</p>
<p>Can you imagine what life is like for those
constantly under the threat of US killer drones? </p>
<p>If you’re like me, you don’t see drones as a
solution to “boots on the ground.” Instead, it’s a
saddening development that lets the US military
put more distance between our own lives and the
lives of the people killed by remote. </p>
<p>That’s why we helped IVAW members get to the
Nevada desert to protest the US drone program
outside of Creech Air Force Base this past week.
We stood with over a hundred Veterans For Peace,
Code Pink, and local organizers from Nevada Desert
Experience as well as other groups and
individuals. Activist and organizers worked
together to <b>Shut Down Creech</b> for several
hours. </p>
<p>As former military members, we brought a specific
message to active duty drone operators:<b> We
support you but not your orders; follow your
conscience and resist! </b></p>
<p>When I was in the Army, I was lead to believe
that I had no choice but to follow orders. Now
that I know that there are other options, I want
to tell drone operators that they do have a choice
to not take part in this war.<b> Thank you for
being a part of a community of support that
stands for those who follow their conscience. </b></p>
<p>Do you want to see IVAW doing more of this work?
Respond with your thoughts on active duty
outreach, the US Drone Wars, or other IVAW work.
We always appreciate hearing from our supporters
and community and we do our best to respond to all
questions and requests. </p>
<p><b>Can you <a moz-do-not-send="true"
