Such foolish acts simply serve as recruiting tools for the jihadists.

First of all I agree that it was a stupid thing to do, we have always held the moral and civil high ground in this war.

However, to say that an American exercising his Constitutional rights endangers our service men and women is insulting to those who, for that very reason, have voluntarily put on a uniform, picked up arms and have taken an oath to stand between us and our enemies and fight .

My feeling- and this is only speaking for myself, obviously- is that if we have men and women willing to risk their lives to stand up for what they believe, then the least the rest of us can do is STAND UP FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE.

"I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it." -Shepherd Book, Serenity

The first step to victory is believing. The second step is in believing the right thing. Neither step is worth a damn if we don't stand up for those beliefs.
