Shameful Behavior
Some of the anti-war idiots have been harassing military members.
In the first incident, two males on San Antonio's northeast side made threatening gestures and pounded on the windows of a car driven by an Army drill sergeant. The sergeant's wife was a passenger in the car. The two were returning home from work.
Now there's a mature way to express your opinion, isn't it? Terrorizing some poor sergeant's wife.
Gen. Porr said the second incident involved two sailors in uniform, who were "accosted" as they left a River Walk restaurant by several males who said, "You'd better not go to war."
Mr. Reidinger said some Marines, who were not in uniform but were in the vicinity at the time of the confrontation, went to the aid of the sailors.
"The matter was then taken care of by combined military action," said Mr. Reidinger, who would not elaborate.
Ahem. I'm sure it was. And quite appropriately too.
Gen. Porr also has advised military personnel to "not get involved" in situations where people voice their opposition to the war in Iraq, not talk about their work or "military operations in general" and always practice the "buddy system" when traveling.
That this policy is necessary is understandable. That "protesters" believe they should harass the very people who risk their lives to protect their freedom to protest is shameful.
And absolutely unacceptable.

One of the problems I see with the whole PEACE protest 'movement' is that they are so violent. If that's the case, one MUST take defensive manuevers. If one of those morons wish to take on a couple of Marines, and they have their tails handed to them, one must not feel sorry for them.

First and foremost is these people DO NOT represent peace. They are now and were before, Communists and one-worldists. They do not believe that Capitalism works and that the USSR was cheated out of existance. Exisitentialism in it's worst form.
Incidently, they are the same people that will throw billions of dollars into to a defunct school system that has a functional illiteracy rate of 60-70%. Is there a correlation here? I believe there is......
