We are a Vermont network of trained draft and military counselors who provide free, confidential counseling and assistance to persons facing draft registration, or to persons in the active-duty military, national guard and reserve. We can provide information on building a case for conscientious objector status and help with finding legal resources for persons facing disciplinary actions as war resisters.
BADMC was formed in 1980 when Carter brought back draft registration. It includes members who are veterans and served as draft and military counselors during the U.S. war on Vietnam. We have provided counseling services since 1980--through the invasions, occupations or bombing of Lebanon (l982), Grenada (1983), Panama (1989), Iraq (1991), Bosnia (1993), Haiti (1994), Somalia (1994), Croatia (1995), Afghanistan (1998), Sudan (1998), Iraq (1998), Yugoslavia (1999) Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003) and next.... (Syria? Iran? North Korea? Cuba?)
Yours in the struggle for global social justice,
Will Miller for the BADMC board

Curtains Ordered for Media Coverage of Returning Coffins
by Dana Milbank Washington Post (10.21.03)
"JROTC is an abomination. It is just absolutely unconscionable to
start
teaching thirteen - and fourteen-year-olds about military science, how to
handle a gun, that wearing a uniform with an insignia on it makes you an
important person, and so on. It is the inculcation of immature people,
immature personalities. And that training affects you for the rest of your
life. It's absolutely immoral."
