One day it won't be PC to heckle the troops. Those who do will be taught a lesson in civility by society.

I attended a meeting and talked with an academic who was articulate and against the war but "for the troops". Later, the son of one of the attendees was asked to speak. He had just returned from Iraq. All in the audience rose and applauded him for his duty, except the academic who remained seated and did not applaud. He left immediately and did not hear the comments of the young man who said how distorted the news is about what is happening.

That was my experience in Vietnam. I knew what was happening when I was there and when I returned, the news was just the opposite or distorted. I stopped watching the evening news. Thank God for FR and the internet.

"Walking the parade route with his mom, younger siblings and politically conservative friends, Jason heard words from the crowd that felt like a thousand daggers to the heart. "Baby killer!" "Murderer!" "Boooo!"

In this country, these people are perfectly free to say these things. Say it about my son and these people would be perfectly free to go to the emergency room.

I'm waiting for one of our vets who encounters the old "baby killer" and "murderer" slurs, shouts back: "No ma'am, that was John Kerry."

Oooooh, that's good.

The ONLY cure for this country... a landslide win in November for the Bush/Cheney team. 4 more years of adults in the Whitehouse.

(On the same parade route, people bearing pro-Kerry signs were cheered and applauded for, among other things, tooling around in an environmentally responsible car.)

These people are just plain nuts.

Boffo! I'm glad someone else has said so! I believe shooting someone (even the enemy) in the back with a co cal. is murder. I don't know about the Geneva convention rules though.......
