[Uhuru na Umoja]

Nice article, and very peritent for any present US soldiers. I esspecially like the last few lines:

Which is the braver? The man who falls in line with the great majority or he that faces the wrath of millions for conscience sake?
Do not confound us with the pacifists. We believe in fighting. Aye, we have been fighting all our lives-- fighting injustice, oppression,
and tyranny. Almost single handed at that.
We are not pacifists. But we want to know what we are fighting for, and we refuse to fight for the enemies and the exploiters of humanity.
