I already posted my feeling about this on Facebook this morning, but wanted to talk about it here too. These were my comments:
What this shows Carolyn is the maturity level (well lack of), from those students. They fail to separate the WAR from the soldiers who fight it. Same thing happened during the Vietnam War. I hated that war vehemently, but it was the war I protested; I had nothing but respect for the men who fought.
This just makes me fume. Here are a few kids who have no idea how the real world runs, as they sit in their cozy surroundings and ATTACK our fighting men and women. Yes, as I've stated over and over; you do have the right to protest, but if you are going to do so, know your facts. When you wield your signs and show only your ignorance, you do nothing to help your cause. It's an utter embarrassment.
Trust me, if we are attacked in America again, they will be the first ones yelling for help and protection from our armed forces.
