[edit] Active Duty Members?

This article mentions active duty military members of IVAW in 2 separate places, but isn't sourced. It's probably against regulations for active duty to be members, as they're prohibited from most political activities like campaigning, advocacy, etc. Nathanm mn 18:37, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually it is perfectly legal for those who are currently serving to join IVAW as long as they do not speak in uniform and do not make it know that they speak for them selves and not the US military.

Also as one of the founders and the person who wrote our mission statement I can assure you that we allow active duty troops to join.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.78.237.151 (talk) 02:13, March 25, 2007

Servicemembers are authorized to join political organizations (DoD Directive 1325.6). User:DayKart

[edit] City Pages Jen article

One veteran planning to give testimony, a young woman who had guarded Iraqi POWs, expresses guilt and remorse for her abusive acts in an interview for the Twin Cities alternative newspaper, City Pages.^[1]

Above removed from article. Claims to have put powder from Flameless ration heater in two cigarettes. Doesn't seem reasonable. Magnesium powder burns very hot and is hard to extinguish. Including specifically that in MREs.[1] -- SEWilco (talk) 03:25, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
