I was deployed 3x while in the Marines, and each time we used a civilian contracted airline.

Once - landing in Honolulu - we sat on the aircraft parked away fromt the terminal. We did not disembark.

Another time, we sat in Alaska - and we got off the plane, but in a closed section of the airport.

I really don’t think the Marines thought anything of it.

Besides, if the Marines had gotten off - they would have been spit on by the progressive socialist liberal democrats who live in the city. If that had happened, no telling the response of the Marines.

So, basically -the way I see it - it was a measure of safety to protect the public in San Fransisco from angry Marines who would have reacted to being spit upon by progressive socialist liberal extreme left-wing moonbat democrats.

You make a good point.

But maybe a good ol' fashioned Marine arse whoopin is what that area needs.

And on the other hand, our Troops do not fight for the right to be spit upon.

Treat our Troops with some respect or take an arse whoopin!

Am I reading this right ? Do some of these people flob on servicemen ?
Even over here I have not seen any reports of this happening to our boys.
A few months ago a peace demonstrator in sheffield did this to me after I told him my 20 year old cousin was serving in Basra ; I nutted him and he fell like a stone* . I waited for this big cop to arrest me , but he took my details and told me to **** off and not come back to the demo.
Turns out both his brothers were in Afganistan !
Whenever me and my mates see US Airmen we always buy them ale.

*Can I point out I meant the hippy not my cousin .
