When I was stationed at Ft. Benning, these people would arrive in late October and start setting up shop. The protesters would always trot out such lefties as Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Martin Sheen and Susan Sarandon. In one interview with the local newspaper, Pete Seeger repeatedly referred to blacks as "colored" people. One year Martin Sheen issued a proclamation as his character on The West Wing officially closing down the school. My fondest memory is getting into a conversation with a protester about one graduate that the U.S. had turned into a "murderer". Turns out his only course of study at SOA was a bn level motor officer course. The dreaded "psyop" course was another bone of contention with these fools. They never grasped that the students basically learned how to run a printing press and make leaflets. In their minds, "psyop" involved "mind control" and "torture". Some of the college students present even got class credit for attending. I could go on for a long long time.
