Some significant statements:
"We are calling upon you to refuse orders and stand with the Palestinian people.
Like you, we were ordered to do our duty. Many of us began to resist. A half a million U.S. troops deserted the Vietnam War. 2500 GIs refused orders to fight the war against Iraq. Already the GI resister movement of refusenicks have upwards of a thousand resisters. They and many of the worlds peoples are you allies. It's never too late for you to follow your conscience. You are not without options. There are many creative ways to resist. If one of you refuses orders, we will support you. If ten of you refuse orders, we will back you. And we look forward to welcoming you into our ranks. The troops that we support are the troops who refuse to fight. There is no glory in murder, no excuse in obedience, and no future in patriotism. If we have to fight and die, let it be for the world, not for the warlords. We salute the observers from all over the world, the bravery of the medical workers and those Israelis who are opposing this massacre."
