Bill Maher has a TV show ??!?!?!
On the other hand, as a Viet Nam vet and the recipient of a couple of pieces of 37mm AAA as part of my experience there, I have subjectively chosen to abandon the initial anger I felt on my return to Tocoma, Washington and the trip home for leave when I too was confronted and yelled at by protestors (I did not change into civilian clothes before reaching McChord AFB from Hawaii). Purely for my own peace of mind and Christian-based learnings that were important to me then, and still are today, my reaction has been different than Officer Grist. I am comfortable with my decision to leave that category of anger out of my life and I hope Officer Grist is equally content with his contrary decision.
Bill Maher is simply an entertainer and, with the Army missing its enlistment goals by 40% during the past months, the current retention and enlistment situation isn't a pretty sight. I think that's what he was referring to. It may not be funny, but it may be a commentary.
His parents may owe us an apology, all we have to do is find them. Maybe the AKC can give us a hint on where to find his mother.

I watch him on Larry King for a few minutes when he's on sometimes and Maher astonishes me with his Accepted Wisdom disguised as Original Thought.
