Ever notice how at any of these protests if one of the activists gets as much as a nudge they fall to the ground like they've been shot? They're like NFL punters trying to draw a penalty. Saw the same thing in that New Orleans protest over tearing down public housing. Guess it makes for good TV.

Those cops should be ashamed. As for the freaks protesting, it's beyond understanding how they can fail to realize that our armed forces are the only reason they're free to pull that kind of crap. [Freak]

I'm currently reading (and highly recommend) former Marine officer Nathaniel Fick's book One Bullet Away . He tells of attending a talk by author Tom Ricks at Dartmouth:

After the talk, a young professor stood. "How can you support the presence of ROTC at a place like Dartmouth?" she asked. "It will militarize the campus and threaten our culture of tolerance."

Somehow I don't think "tolerance" would have advanced very far at Iwo Jima, the Battle of the Bulge, or Okinawa. :rolleyes:
