Not sure how showing a little respect to a Vet attending a sporting event (Chas's example) turned into invading Iraq. So when the frail old Vietnam Vet stands to be recognized at an event be sure to turn your back or better yet spit on them. I say spit because when my Dad flew back in 69 he was met by "protesters" who spit on him and called him a baby killer. Helluva welcome home party!
I guess thats what makes America great we can defend our opinions or disagree with others and still respect each other. My kid wants to join the Marines when he turns 18 that will make him the 5th generation of our family to be potentially sent to a war zone. No one in my family has graduated college (Daughter is college Jr so almost there!) or paid their homes off before they died. White lower middle class and dang proud!
