Bay Vets???

Ok guys, I don't know what the word is or if there even is a word, but there should be.

I've been working with Vets for Peace but I'm definitely the youngest guy there and I need to work amongst some vets of our era.  The Vets for Peace guys are great & all but they're largely using activism from the 1960's for a 2011 problem.  We need to keep the struggle relevant, and work in ways that will resonate with young Americans.  It's the previous two generations and their archaic paradigms that are sinking this country.  We need to raise some eyebrows.

Not sure if any of the 10 members in this group will see this but I'd like to see us working to get some new vets in on this website across the bay so we can actually make some shit happen.  There's also a Bay IVAW facebook page I've seen.  It'd be great if the owner of that started reaching out to bay vets through it.  If nobody's on that, I've got experience as an FB admin and could get it going.

Let's make shit HAPPEN.

Peace. -Josh
