> they are either American citizens or on some form of US Visa. It would seem somewhat contradictory to be a non-Citizen protesting the policies of a US company while employed at that company on a visa issued by the US government.
With respect I disagree.
I don't think it is contradictory at all - you are not obliged to have unwavering and unquestioning support for whatever the company you happen to work for, or the country you happen to live in, decides to do. It is 100% ok to disagree with what your employer or country is doing.
Just because someone is on a visa, you think that they suddenly are not allowed to have an opinion or any morals? Please - take a step back and think this through from different perspectives than your own. Many people on a Visa/dual-nationals/US-natives etc still have full and complete lives outside of the US - friends, family, colleagues, property, cultural, etc. You cannot expect people to abandon all that and just go along with the US military killing innocent men, women and children outside in their home countries/near-by countries just because they have a job and/or are living in the US.
