"When we got the orders to go to the VFW, we said, 'Oh God, that's the last thing we want to do,'" Hady said.

"We were just following orders..."

Why does that sound familiar? ;-)

Indeed. Just because something is legal doesn't mean that it is good, just, or moral. Slavery was legal, bans on "race mixing" were legal, etc.

Also, why aren't these twits doing something constructive with our money like, oh this is nutty, looking for gun smuggling terrorists or bomb-making psychos bent on actually snuffing scores of Americans. I guess it is just easier to hassle veterans than protecting the nation from criminals.
