Back in the United States, a group of antiwar veterans held a march here in New York Tuesday to mark Veterans Day. Hugh Bruce of Veterans for Peace was among those taking part.
Hugh Bruce: “We’ve gotten our message across that peace is patriotic. Opposing government policy doesn’t mean I don’t love my country any the less. It means that when we’re wrong we have to admit we’ve made a mistake and rectify it. Hopefully the new administration is going to take some steps towards doing that.”
The march came one day after fifteen members of the group Iraq Veterans Against the War and their supporters pleaded not guilty to disorderly conduct charges stemming from their arrests outside the final presidential debate at Hofstra University last month.
