Jeff Binford, the club's president, said he feels there are different types of people opposing action.

"I've witnessed two different kinds of anti-war protesters.There are the reserved ones who respect most people's beliefs.They say 'I don't like war, I don't think this is the option,' and that's their opinion.Then there's the ones who need to be in your face saying that this is 'Republican propaganda,'" Binford said.

Binford added that he feels those who oppose war "have good reasons."

However, he said, "The people who are trying to turn this into something that it's not are very ignorant to the situation.
