This should be taught to the slower students in basic training: you can't have it both ways. You are either for the freedoms that you are all supposedly fighting for, or you aren't. Standing on the corner w/ a protest sign is what you might call Freedom #1 in this country, if you don't believe in it 100%, get your ass out of the military, please. Don't do us any favors, go out and earn a living in the real world.

So everyone has the right to an opinion but folks in the military? Why should they not be able to hold the folks protesting them in contempt. It is a two way street. A person does not give up their right to an opinion just because they join the military. They have the right to think the protesters are scum as much as the protesters think Bush or Cheney or Rumsfeld is.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
