P.S. Before you jump to yet another faulty conclusion:

I served 12 years in the United States Navy and Naval Reserve. Three generations of Wombats before me were US Marines. I don’t need to show up and shout insults at a bunch of idiots to show my support for my troops.

I want our guys and gals home, not because I don’t support what they do, but because they were sent in by a bunch of idiots who have forgotten every axiom of warfare. Personally, i would have opted to radioactively poisoning the netire Muslim world for the next 10,000 years, rather than the half-assed, Vietnam-style semi-war that’s being sorta-kinda-fought, but then again, I’m a no-bulls*it kinda guy who doesn’t have to worry about being filleted on the nightly news.

My own tour of duty in Iraq (in Gulf War I) was spent fishing WWI-vintage naval mines out of the Persian Gulf and disarming or destroying them. When I finsihed doing that, I spent my time searching the deserts for Iraq looking for unexpended aerial ordinance to do the same to.

That, btw, was AFTER I had spent the previous five months loading God-knows-how-many-tons of explosive ordinance on F/A-18’s, A-6’s, A-7’s, and the occasional Marine AV-8B.

See, I already did my 19 months in the combat zone, thank you.

I think I’ve earned the right to ignore Mrs. Sheehan and her crowd of self-appointed moral censors, if I should choose to.

So while you have your fun hurling insults and beer cans at the surrender monkeys, I’ll be enjoying myself to the fullest extent, a RIGHT I GO*DAMMNED EARNED, despite what you have to say about it.

You want Cindy Sheehan to go away? Stop giving her attention.

She won't go away. Even if we close our eyes, hold our breath and cover our ears. The media will always be there to cover them. And the constant drumbeat of negativism on the nightly news will assist and encourage the radical leftists to continue what they are doing.

And Sheehan and the rest of the leftists will win, because there will be people who say, "I did my time," or "I got mine," or "It doesn't affect me," or any number of excuses they can think of. And there will be people who will p*** on what others are doing to try and stop the radical leftists from destroying what's left of our great country.

Have fun in upstate NY.
