It does not accurately catogorise any anti-war people that I ever met in the '60s, when my parents and millions of others were against the war, although there are certainly nut-cases and jerks on every side of the issue. (As can be seen here at times).

the "spitting" comment was in referance to an actual incident that i was witness to during the gulf war while welcoming freinds home, but that was MY experience......where is yours?
