Shades of the 60's, I guess I do not see their point. This is an all volunteer force, no draftees in that crowd. They all had choices and no one made them sign on the bottom line or take that oath to defend.

You're assuming that ANY of these guys are actually what they SAY they are.

I wonder how many of these sanctimonious assholes are turning down their VA benefits?

After AIT, my son had a larger ribbon rack that I had after 3 years. :D

What a joke. There will always be 1) those very few who object, and 2) a very few who disgrace the uniform.

I like the photo titled "Police clash with demonstrators..."

It is a shot of a few officers, no clashing at all.

I wonder if any of them took a Chritmas trip to Cambodia and had it seared into their memory?

IF they are who they say they are
IF they were deployed

Would they recognize "Honor" if they experienced it?
