Air Force Veteran and Cindy Sheehan face off
Well, looks as if that wacko job, Cindy Sheehan, is at it again. Looks as if she set up a protest outside Travis AFB, but there was a voice of opposition amongst her very little band.
A retired AF sergeant let his voice be heard.
Clip is in below link.

They always claim to support the troops, but you can hear in their comments to the retired airman, how they really feel about us. One woman tells him he is 'brainwashed', a common belief among the left in regards to military personnel.
When confronting these folks, I am reminded of the quote:
Don't argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Well said, TS!
It gets down to tabloid journalism. This is what has become of American writing...it has degenerated into sensationalism to exploit the super market lonely hearts. Truth in journalism is hard to find. The sheehan creature is it's queen mother.

If she was protesting the use of RPVs - she was about an hour's drive away from where she should have been - but Travis is closer to San Francisco and much easier for the Fourth Estate to get it aired on the appropriate news channel.

I'm sorry that she lost her son. I'm sorry that she's an idiot.
I can do nothing about either situation.

Maybe he is a "Green to Blue". Maybe he does have a Ranger tab on, but I've known several AF CCTs who have gone through RIP and wear a tab. He is after all wearing a scarlet beret, which is, as I'm sure you know, AF CCT. Difficult to make out his flash.
Granted, he does have his boots bloused and is wearing a beret. He could be retired AF, or he could be just a big 'ol poser, looking for a little face time. I mean, his tie is kinda OVER his shirt.

That would be one heck of a favor, given the legal ramifications and all....
It'll be interesting to see what the fact-checkers dig up.

Anybody got a time hack here? I am thinking we are way beyond fifteen minutes.

USAF uniform regs can change from day to day. I'd sooner buy the tab as airborne, it supports the red beret. His uniform seems a bit non standard. There is a lot wrong here on both sides of the bullhorn.
Agree with TR, we're over the fifteen min mark.
