A lot of the kooks protest our bases whether we are at war or not...so apparently it is not peace they are after...maybe a bad experience playing with a GI Joe doll in childhood. I also wonder what they do for a living...probably the welfare crowd. They sure look like a freak show. At least they don't seem to want spit on us as much any more...except on college campuses. A guy just barely missed my daughter in ROTC attire just a few days ago. When he realized that she was one of the pretty cheerleaders under the uniform...he tried to pretend it was an accident. What is this country coming to when a man would spit on a woman for wearing a uniform? They are such brave little punks. They know you would be court martialed if you responded.

I was stopped at the red light going out the gate the other day when a young punk got all puckered up as if to spit in my open targa. I let him know real quick that unlike the active duty guys, as a retiree, I would not hesitate to get out and kick his ass. He swallowed it.

The sad part is that the folks that the protest crap really hurts is the young guy...lonely and away from his family for the first time...and the military life is certainly not easy. Tends to drive the first term AWOL/desertion/suicide rate up.
