A Marine who may lose his honorable discharge for wearing a uniform during a protest of the war in Iraq got support Monday from anti-war protesters who gathered outside the site of a military hearing into his case.

Marine Cpl. Adam Kokesh, a member of the Iraq Veterans Against the War, was appearing before an administrative separation board at the Marine Corps Mobilization Command.

Outside, several people stood in front of a bus painted with anti-war slogans, such as “Bring Them Home Now,” “Not One More!” and “What Noble Cause?”

Kokesh, 25, took part in an anti-war protest in Washington, D.C. in March. When he was identified in a photo cutline in The Washington Post, a superior officer sent him a letter saying he might have violated a rule prohibiting troops from wearing uniforms without authorization.
