I am more than well aware of the posse comitatus limitations, thank you. And I am also sick and tired of worthless shitbag anti-war protestors that see it as their duty to deface and disgrace monuments dedicated to our military.
If your knickers are in such a twist about sending Federal troops, then send the Guard. Posse Comitatus does not apply.
I was merely trying to point out that the "Black Bloc" protestors of the "anarchistic" bent...or at least their LEADERS...want folks to go ballistic on their front line nincompoops which they first drug and then send out as CANNON FODDER.
I don't have my "knickers in a twist" in FACT I don't even OWN any.
I DO however own a motorcycle and I just got off the phone with my 23-year retired Marine buddy with whom I'm planning a little visit to the WALL with this May...something about "thunder rolling"....anyway, I'll see you THERE with several hundred thousand of my closest friends. I'm hoping to get John Kerry's autograph....or not.
By the way, anyone who you encounter on the way to the Mall who needs.....let's say an "attitude adjustment"... can and should give you an outlet for your patriotic fervor. Ya just never know...could be a guy like me standing on their face as you "instruct" them.....
You, of course, have no way of knowing about the legislation I helped originate which was signed into law or the MANY other undertakings I have been a party to which benefit ALL Veterans. Oh, and a guy from my high school graduating class was AT Kent State when the deal went down.
