Alright, I guess I am not making my points clear enough. There are a few vets out there that are agianst the war and they have EVERY right just like YOU do to protest the war. I was trying to give you an appreciation that the Freedoms that you enjoy including protesting are defended by the people that are at this very moment deployed overseas. From first hand experience, I can tell you that, although most are well meaning I am sure, protesting in some fashions do nothing but destroy the morale of those people deployed in combat. I took the time to look at the Russian broadcasst on You-Tube that you provided. I can tell you that my first take is , if I were still there I would just shake my head and say those people have no idea what they are doing. However, I would not say you could not protest. I do hope in some small way, that the anti-war crowd gets a real appreciation of the good people defending them and understands that even while deployed we had the ability to see the news and get on the internet. We could see pretty much all this , and I can tell you from my standpoint the last thing I wanted to see was people defacing the very flag I was defending all in the name of bringing me home while I was getting painted.... Again my goal was to give you and all the anti-war crowd some idea of how you are percieved by those that you are trying to bring home. I mean it when I tell you you have the RIGHT in this country to enjoy ALL the Freedoms paid for by the blood of millions of Americans and that includes your right to express yourself even if I amy not agree with you, hell man I I didnt get my ass shot at if I didnt have a deep belief in that.
