I wonder if anyone besides myself has mused about the fact that veterans generally dont "protest", they parade.Funny how some people use their time and expend their efforts in meaningless public protests on what they are "against", when they are not in any real danger of being called upon to defend or explain,in any meaningfull way, their loudly voiced, but cheaply valued, "rights" to free speech.
I am certain more educated FReepers could come up with an actual comparative figure, based on hard facts, but just once-I would like to see the media take into consideration ethics in reporting protest marches, and assuming a pulled out of thin air comparison of 1000 to 1, give those who are active duty or veterans equal time when covering anti-whatever protests.
Televise the protesters by all means, but if they show 10 seconds of 1000 anti-whatevers, show 10 seconds of the one, who shows support of something they actually have knowledge and personal experience of.
All opinions are not of equal value.Often, the 1 voice is a more valuable measure of truth, than the din of the 1000 voices.
