Most likely this was initiated by the Vice F**ker. How could Bush and Cheney possibly restore honor to the White House when neither has any concept of what the word means? Cheney needs to make three copies of his five Viet Nam deferments and shove all of them up his arse. I’d gladly put on my Viet Nam Era uniform to escort that bastard to the Hague for a war crimes trial. He has disgraced those who have faithfully served this country.

Even though I kind of agree with what these guys were doing,they were in the wrong. They are still under contract and subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). An enlistment in the Marines is 8 years, which is usually 4 years active with 4 years in the inactive ready reserve (IRR). If they hadn’t decided to wear their uniforms (that do have the marine emblem on them), they would’ve been fine. Insulting an officer wasn’t a good idea either.

#46 — Wayne, Thanks and likewise, I thank you for your service. Had to go to the Puget Sound VA Med Center the other day to catch a shuttle. The lovely gent at the info desk was very helpful. Determined he was a WW II vet (ETO) and thanked him for his sacrifices all those years ago. I’m such an emotional for vets — esp. WW II vets. My father was a WW II vet (with 5 battle stars) and since he is now deceased, I honor his memory by thanking every vet I meet for their sacrifices. It’s a small thing, but it’s so satisfying to witness their humble attitudes and thanks for the gesture.

I came back from Vietnam and joined the protest during the effort to shut down DC while still on Active Duty and threw my medals over the WH fence. I found out later that friends of mine were arrested and given Dishonorable Discharges for doing the same thing.

Some things don’t change…. just the scumbags in higher office who have never served their country in combat and are still leading this country with no appreciation or acceptance of the sacrifice made by the real patriots, the ones who gave their lives for their COUNTRY, not for the slimeballs in higher office.

I salute all of the true heroes!!

Isn’t he the guy who was heckling the Gonzales hearing? Holding up that placard saying how many times Gonzales said “I don’t recall”?

It’s no wonder he’s being made into an example by the administration. Sucks to be him.

Gee, how many Viet Nam vets went home and changed into a suit and tie to protest? If you put your life on the line, then you sure have earned the right to protest, wearing the uniform or whatever you damn please! If you haven’t served, then shut up.

Ok, I get it. A soldier can wear their uniform when they go into a bar or a brothel, but they can’t wear their uniform while walking in a peace march. Makes perfect sense to me.

Now tell me, if the soldiers had been marching in a parade supporting George Bush and Company, do you think that they would be in trouble? I doubt it.

It’s about damned time that the VFW stands up for veterans and what is legally right and wrong. It grates on my nerves whenever I’ve seen them honor that yellow-bellied Bush by asking him to speak at their conventions. Bush has no concept of the values involved with being an honorable member of the US Armed Forces. The slimy wimp couldn’t even hack a 4-year legal obligation to the Texas Air Guard…that is truly pathetic.

Any troll who fits that criteria should be strictly ignored because there is no hope for them. We might as well keep our blood pressure down.

like i stated yesterday…troll is a juvenile’s passtime. the fact that they never admit common ground, never admit that they’re wrong, and are so utterly sure that their opinion is valued, or that anyone may be know more than they do is a dead give away.

that “know it all” attitude speaks volumes. it tell us they can’t be more than 13.

i promise not to feed the trolls!

#34 The main qualification for a troll is flagrant and total ignorance, followed in short order by a defined lack of synaptic activity in the brain – trolls ARE the epitome of hypocritical idiocy so the concept of a “idiot troll” is totally redundant.
