I'm angry. I'm angry at the 'antiwar' protesters who heaped abuse on our troops. And I'm angry at the people who couldn't be bothered to stand up for our troops yesterday.
Tens of thousands of anti-American leftists and their dupes marched on our nation's capital calling for America's defeat in the war on terror in Iraq.
Only about forty people could be bothered to turn out in support of America's victory in Iraq. Among those forty was a civilian POW held by the North Vietnamese communists and several Iraq war veterans--including wounded warriors who left the hospital to stand up for their brothers in arms on the home front.
Why did former POW Mike Benge and Iraq vet Joshua Sparling only find a few dozen people willing to stand with them? Why, as the anti-American left is heading toward repeating their victory in Vietnam, are so many people sitting on their asses and doing nothing to stop them?
Why, when Joshua Sparling was spat on, cursed at and threatened by 'peace marchers', were there so few people there to defend his honor?
Why was Jane Fonda allowed to desecrate the Navy Memorial and only face token opposition?
Why did Mike Benge see thousands more people showing up to cheer Jane Fonda than there were to denounce her?
Those who were there to support these patriots will be posting their observations and photos on this thread. I've said my piece.
Absolutely agree that the MSM is basically useless, except to let us know what they are up to.
Excellent idea.
Thank you, and welcome home.
As long as there are young people like you, all is not lost. It will be up to you to fight the good fight for America. Welcome to FR.
Beats me? I saw she'd responded to my original post and when I went to it, the message read that her account had been suspended or deleted. Did I miss anything interesting?
I would like to hold a counterrally to deal with the antiwar moonbats who are going to spit on the Pentagon on March 17th, AND hold our own rally, similar to September 2005.
Could someone please post the picture of Josh Sparling that was printed in Sunday's edition of the Washington Post (page A8).Maybe I'm being over sensitive, but I believe the picture misrepresents Josh, and makes him appear to be part of the anti-war demonstration. I've voiced my opinion with three staff of the Post, and would like others to do the same.
Not sure if this is the image that ran in the COMpost, but here is one from Yahoo! NEWS photos:

Sparling was injured Nov. 20, 2005, while fighting in Ramadi, Iraq, and after a lengthy but unsuccessful recuperation his right leg was amputated below the knee a year later. (AP Photo/Chris Greenberg)

We both must have missed something. Looks like the "god MODS" know more than us. LOL
[Mr] T
I dont think youre being overly sensitive, infact the caption the AP put with pic is very unclear also.
The ABC evening news (or was in NBC, I know I never watch CBS) had a good piece on it.
The First Amendment does not confer upon one the right to spit upon a veteran, or any other individual, for that matter.
Omit every word after "damn". And you get a truer picture.
Kristinn is an amazing person and even though I am fairly new here I can tell the difference in those that DO care about our troops and those that don't walk the walk and you sit-rep do NOT. IF acording to you Kristinn is to blame you then are saying that Josh is an idiot and has no mind of his own. Josh did exactly what he wanted to do and he sure as H#$% earned the right to be there if he wanted to be.
thanks for the link and the info!!
Yes you are sit-rep, you would rather sit back and get fat probably and let the enemy of this country, the traitors to this country take over. I will fight back till I take my last breath. Thank God you are few in numbers people like you sit-rep, thank God.
Now, tell me.... What was the reason Kristinn posted this thread? It was because not too many showed right??
I think you should re-phrase your comment.
