A New Battle Front: Pro-Warrior but Antiwar

By David Montgomery
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, October 26, 2003; Page D01


They were near the front of the antiwar march downtown yesterday, dozens of parents, siblings and spouses of soldiers, sailors and Marines occupying Iraq. They drew energy from each other, from the exciting discovery that there were so many in the same situation. They traded stories of extended deployments and shaky morale. They carried poster-size pictures of their loved ones standing proudly in dress uniforms, and they raised a banner that said: "Bush Says Bring 'Em On, We Say Bring 'Em Home Now!"

"We're very proud of our son, our daughter-in-law, our niece and nephews and their willingness to support and defend our country," said Alan McLaine, 57, an educational consultant. "But we do not think the U.S. should be at war with Iraq."

"Osama bin Laden is still out there," Marianne D'Amato said. "That's been forgotten. Instead, what does Bush do? He kills thousands of Iraqis. They're picking our troops off. . . . This is an unconstitutional war."
