POINTS OF UNITY

   StormWarning! is the publication of Vietnam Veterans 
Against the War Anti-Imperialist (VVAW AI). We are part of a 
network of anti-imperialist veterans who are proud of our 
resistance to U.S. aggression around the world. In the 1970s, to 
be a Vietnam Veteran was to be against the war. That proud 
legacy must be carried forward into the 1990s. As veterans, we 
have been to the edge and seen the viciousness of Amerikkka 
unmasked. We have no doubt that the bastards who sent us to 
war will use their nuclear arsenal, along with unspeakably 
cruel conventional weapons, to maintain their empire.
   The world we live in today is like a grenade with the pin 
pulled. Nobody knows where it will pop off next. Another 
invasion of Central America? Additional slaughter in the 
deserts of the Middle East? "Defense" is always the excuse, and 
the battle cry is "Keep America #1!"
   We have learned there is no glory in murder, no excuse in 
obedience, and no future in patriotism. If we have to fight or 
die, let it be for the world, not the warlords. Let us find our 
glory in stopping the murder and destruction!
VVAW AI has the following points of unity:

1.)   VVAW AI is an anti-imperialist organization which is open 
      to veterans of all eras, reservists, and active duty GIs. 

2.)   VVAW AI has vowed to bring the lessons paid for in blood 
      into direct opposition to any wars or war preparations by the 
      U.S. and all imperialist powers, East or West.

3.)   VVAW AI upholds all resistance to imperialist war by GIs, 
      reservists, veterans and the anti-war/peace movement.

4.)   Just as we upheld the righteous struggle of the people of 
      South East Asia fighting for their liberation, we uphold the 
      just struggles of people around the world as they fight for 
      their liberation today.

5.)   As veterans, we know that racism and the subjugation of 
      women are twin pillars of crimes against humanity. We vow 
      to oppose these and all other forms of oppression.

   We call on others to read, distribute, and contribute to
