The military is very afraid of the truth getting out and is threatening dishonorable discharge for those involved in the street theatre.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A local son turned U.S. Marine turned anti-war activist has been threatened by military authorities for activities related to his opposition of the Iraq war.

Liam Madden, 22, formerly of Bellows Falls and a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War confirmed he received a letter from the Marine Corps earlier this month informing them he was being recommended for discharge from the individual ready reserves.

Madden, who now lives in Boston, declined to speak further on the advise of his attorney.

But Adam Kokesh, 25, of Washington, D.C., shared a similar letter in which he was recommended for a dishonorable discharge from the Marine reserves. The first step for Kokesh is a hearing on June 4 in Kansas City to answer the charges in the letter.

"It's so petty and stupid," Kokesh told the Reformer Friday afternoon.

"Certainly it seems that they have been targeted because of their anti-war activities," said Amadee Braxton, the director of organizational development for Iraq Veterans Against the War, about Madden and Kokesh.
