Isn't it treason to wear the uniform while protesting? Just curious!

I don't think it's necessarily treason, that's consitutioinally defined, but just being in uniform at a political event of any kind is a violation of the UCMJ. Now if they were supporting the troops, that probably wouldn't be considered political, I know it wasn't back in '91, when several Reservists and retirees showed up in Uniform (two majors, one former AF navigator, other Army, at the two "support the troops" rallies I attended on the Courthouse square.

I think it takes more than a few hundred to mount a coup doesn't it???

Generally not. But this time they had opposition. Lots of very "Hard Corps" opposition.

I don't think they figured on that.

It sure is. And it sure looks cold, too! God bless all who stood up in the cold and windy weather to support our troops and their mission!

What if they gave a revolution and no one came?

If you are speaking of left wing revolution, I think we just found out.

Whatever it was, it was hilarious.

Just looked through all your photos and it gave me a sense of what the day was like: very warm and very COLD at the same time...LoL.

Okay, give me the numbers of the pictures of you. Oh, by the way, the one of the group in front of the Iwo Jima Memorial is special. Please post it.

All told, a landmark day for Vietnam veterans.

National Lawyers Guild even pre-dates ACLU, I believe, FWIW.

There was a bit of shoving going on but the worst thing I saw involved a confrontation with an elderly veteran and a man who said he was a Muslim.

I am going to write a post about the whole thing with pictures of the Muslim. I wrote a short piece about it here:

I hope to get more detailed info out along with some of my pics later today but as you can imagine, we are all beat.

And yes, there were quite a few of us around and most moonbats did not want a direct confrontation (except abad mudda, the Muslim guy)

Not enough global warming

Easy way to shut down the chant of "peace now". When they go "What do we want?", shout "Global Warming" It drives them nuts, seldom see them persist with the chant more than three times after responding in this fashion every time.
