What to do if you happen upon a peace rally by naive hemp-shirt-wearing college idiots, to teach them why force is sometimes needed:

1. Approach protesters talking about "peace" and saying there should be, "no retaliation."
2. Engage in brief conversation; ask if military force is appropriate.
3. When he says "No," ask, "Why not?"
4. Wait until he says something to the effect of, "Because that would just cause more innocent deaths, which would be awful and we should not cause more violence."
5. When he's in mid sentence, punch him in the face.
6. When he gets back up to up to punch you, point out that it would be a mistake and contrary to his values to strike you, because that would, "be awful and he should not cause more violence."
7. Wait until he agrees that he has pledged not to commit additional violence.
8. Punch him in the face again, harder this time.

Repeat steps 6 through 8 until they understand that sometimes it is necessary to punch back.

These guys couldn't care less about "peace." This is the same crowd behind those violent WTO protests. Not much peace in the streets of Seattle or Washington.

They just hate America and believe the only valid military intervention is one where the US has no interests involved (Kosovo, Bosnia, Somalia). I don't recall any "peace" protests during those affairs.

They did hate the Gulf War because it involved our vital national interests.

Why don't we just shoot these damn pot smokers and get it over with. After all we have alcohol, prozac, uppers, downers- all legal if you find the right doctor. Where do these twerps get off thinking they have the freedom to make up their own mind.

Good one Highlander.

Reminds me of my Drill Sergeant instructing us in the use of CS grenades for crowd dispersal:

"Hold the grenade at arm's length and pull the pin. Extend your arm rearwards and assume the throwing position. Locate the nearest long-haired, hippy-a$$ed, America-hating, draft-dodging, scum-bucket and launch the CS grenade into the side of his drug-addled skull. Take out your second grenade....."

I won't use his name but this was pretty standard for him. Not a really PC guy.

in theory, this sounds perfect. but...
you'd have to be george foreman, before some would finally get it...
arm weary freepers wouldn't be able to get much work done
they would smile all day tho'...

Here's what my 12 year old son added to a conversation 8 adults were having about the anti-war protestors this week-end:

"Well, there can only be one of two things wrong with them. The drugs they are doing or the drugs they need to be doing!"

Such clarity at such a young age.

I love this, may I have your permission to post it on another board, giving you the credit, of course?

Where do these twerps get off thinking they have the freedom to make up their own mind.

Whoa, who stole your bong? These protestors have no minds and, therefore, are incapable of making up their own. Remember - if they really were anti-war, they'd be protesting the one who started the war and took the first 7,000 casualties, not the one attacked.

Only one little thing has changed since their ancestors spit on us Viet Vets during the 60's and 70's. Every damn one of us that's alive is home now and not overseas, and we fear no evil because we are the meanest SOB's in the valley. It is our turn to spit back!!!

[Highlander]

Give credit to Krom, not Highlander.

Thanks, I thought since the protests, etc. were current events, this was applicable - my bad.
