10. The vets involved are committed to nonviolence

Wes Clark, Jr., who led the first mission, said at the time:

“We’re not going out there to get in a fight with anyone. They can feel free to beat us up, but we’re 100% nonviolence.”


Don't be put off by the terminology used. They call it a mission, send out information in military operations order format, and use other military terms.
