This goes without saying. Anyone one knows me understands my concepts of this, have been in the army national guard myself for 2 years, alot of my friends gone marines, airfoce and so on. This is not the only reason I want everyone to support, let me explain. This really hit me when I was talking to former marine sergeant SSG Marc Bean. He was 8 year in Vietnam, shot 3 times and recieved two purple hearts and a bronze star. He has quite an impressive military carear. I happen to have a POW-MIA tatto on my arm which is what got him talking to me at the legion one day. He also told me that he was in fact a POW in Vietnam. This man is one of my greatest heros today. Hes around 76 in age and still gets up with me a 0430 and puts up flags around town on holidays. He started telling me how when he returned from Vietnam he would be spit on, harassed and said was almost arrested for going into the wrong bar or resturant because they did not alow military personel. This war protest bullshit has gone far enough. There is absolutley no point to protest the war. Do you think your fucking signs and pot-fested rally's is going to stop the enemy from sending a bullet into the chest of a man who VOLENTARALLY said, "yes I will give my life so others can be free?" As long as there are two people on earth there will be conflict, thus there will always be war. THERE WILL NEVER BE PEACE ON EARTH. Though our main job as soldiers, marines, sailors, pilots and so on is to keep the peace, there will no matter what always be war. There will always be war. Lemme say that again ALWAYS BE WAR. People like sergeant bean, my battle buddies are going over with the thought they can die over there just because we believe its worth fighting for, and some body has to do the job. If I ever see somebody protest, or disrespect the country I will glady knock them the fuck out you have no right to do this. Heres the best thing you can do when you see a man in military uniform, its easy, simple, free......say thank you.
