Citizens protest Army's live fire at Mauna Keahttp://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/02/24/18481299.phpby DLi, Sunday Feb 24th, 2008At least 21 activists on the island of Hawaii held an impressive protest in front of the Army's Pohakuloa Training Area on Saturday, to oppose the Army's stationing of the Stryker brigade in Hawaii.The message from the community is loud and clear, "We don't want your 'Axles of Evil!'" hundreds of passing motorists also waved peace signs & thumbs up.Despite vast community testimonies against Army's stationing of the Stryker Brigade in Hawaii, at public hearings across the state since 2005, the Army went ahead and picked Hawaii as the site to base the brigade. In addition, the Air Force had been conducting bomb runs onto PTA, with B-2 bombers flying all the way from Guam.Stay tuned, as more and more local activists continue their valiant & Righteous protests of USA militarism in mid-Pacific.
