Active troops ask congress to end Iraqi occupation

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sixty five active duty service members are officially asking Congress to end the war in Iraq -- the first time active troops have done so since U.S. invasion began in 2003.

Three of the service members will hold a press conference Wednesday explaining their decision to send "Appeals for Redress" under the Military Whistleblower Protection Act to their members of Congress. Under the act, National Guard and Reservists can send communications about any subject to their member of Congress without punishment.

Here's the Press Release




Employment - Veterans -Employee Redress and Appeals for Federal Government Employment Actions

Veterans who are federal government employees have certain rights of appeal and redress when they are aggrieved by governmental actions. The avenues available to them, however, depend upon the type of governmental action involved, such as adverse employment actions, reductions in force, actions relating to restorations, and actions violating statutory or regulatory protections.
