Guardians of Peace

Having turned to support peace, we, Veterans For Peace, have changed our mission.  Where once we trained in the conflict of hate; now we turn to the good will of cooperation.  Where once we directed anger at our enemy; now we maintain patience during conflictive situations.  Where once we provoked fear in our enemies; now we sacrifice to inspire their trust.  Where once we inflicted suffering; now we suffer pain without complaint.  Where once we worked for war; now we work for peace.  These are our Issues.

It is illogical to defend peace by fighting for it.  Those who are trapped in the war mentality, because of a fear and anger bias, see all who oppose them as enemies.  We seek to free the mind-warriors of this bias.  The antidote to fear is courage.  The kind of courage that requires the willingness to self-sacrifice.  Against mind-war it is the courage to trust in our shared humanity, even at the risk of being considered an enemy sympathizer. Against word-war it is the courage to speak about the humanity of the other side, even at the risk of being labeled as a provocateur.  Against combat it is the courage to stop killing, even at the risk of being jailed as a traitor.  This Archive is what we’ve done.  These Events are our plans.

Many of us feel some regret for that time we served, especially in recent conflicts.  We don’t want to be reminded about our participation as warriors.  But now we feel a redemptive responsibility to stop war by joining together to be guardians of peace.  Join with us, make Contact. We also support a community that Link together to educate, demonstrate, and legislate for peace. Together, we are making a difference.
