Well done!!! And thank you.

These talking heads & politicos better get the message loud and clear. This isn't about affecting the electoral vote outcome. It is about justice, which you were denied.

Every since I was a child I have seen the '60-'70's painted as the era of 'peace and love'. An era when utopia was achieved only to be derailed in the greedy decade of the '80's. Flowers, bright flowing clothes, kumbaya and new age hippies praised as being enlightened.

While our soldiers were painted as criminals or at best, 'misguided' for serving their country.

I'm not sure if this lunacy is how they actually perceived their actions or if they are desperate not to pay consequence for the harm they caused this country and her warriors. Maybe both.

The Truth is being forced on them now by Men that are able to defend themselves and the cowards are terrified.

If you want to REALLY know what the '60s & '70s were like,just ask me.

"Peace & Love? More like open warfare on city streets and parks! There were full time hippies/yippies and then,there were the "weekend hippies"...kids from wealthy families,who dressed as though they were going to a bad Halloween party and hassled people for money,while they had Nikon cameras slung around their necks,expensive watches on their wrists,and carrying around expensive guitars.

In Manhattan,there were TRAINING SCHOOLS a la the ones run by OBL,but run by Abbey Hoffman and Jerry Rubin on the Sheep Meadow,in Central Park,to teach " the troops" how to harass the cops in Chicago,practicing yelling profanity and throwing plastic bags full of human waste.

These "peace and love" freaks were out on the sidewalks of lower Manhattan,in and around the NYSE,acting like the anti-globalist freaks of A.N.S.W.E.R.,spitting on returning military and just "regular" people.

Nobody,who wasn't then in the belly of the beast,during those times,knows how DREADFUL those times were.

Kent State? These kids were throwing bricks at the National Guard and desereved being shot.That famous picture of the girl? She was a 14 year old and didn't belong on campus at all.A lot of kids were there who did NOT go to school there.

Then there were all the damned RED DIAPER BABIES,such as Mark Rudd,who ran the SDS troops on college campuses,who took over offices and held not only the colleges/universities HOSTAGE,but also the neighborhoods and towns those schools were in.

I LIVED IN A WAR ZONES AND IT WAS RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA!

Peace and love? Utopia? IT WAS HELL !
