American Legion urges Clinton to withdraw U.S. troops from the Balkans AP May 6, 1999 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The nation's largest veterans organization has urged President Clinton to immediately withdraw U.S. troops from the Balkans. ''We believe the best thing we can do to support our troops, to protect our troops, is to bring them home,'' said Harold L. ''Butch'' Miller, national commander of The American Legion. ''We believe we are getting into a bad situation in Kosovo.'' The Legion's national executive committee unanimously adopted a resolution Wednesday calling for all U.S. soldiers, pilots and support staff to be removed from the region. The resolution says the U.S.-led NATO attacks against Serbia ''could only lead to troops being killed, wounded or captured without advancing any clear purpose, mission or objective.'' The Legion would permit U.S. involvement if Congress passes a resolution supporting the NATO action; U.S. troops are led only by U.S. commanders; the president explains why the action is ''in our vital national interests;'' and guidelines for the campaign, including an exit strategy, are established. The Legion, which represents about 2.9 million American veterans, has scheduled a news conference today to discuss the resolution, which is being delivered to the White House and all members of Congress.
