Part 2 of Veteran's Day parade entrants

RustyBattleship · 03-24-2008, 22:13 PM

Forgive me as this is the first time I've tried to set up a poll. But hopefully I'll have some statistics by tomorrow night's meeting.

This one is on Anti-War groups that want to be part of the Parade.

Like in the other poll, anti-war is not a unit in the military. Anti-war protesters will be allowed to have their own unit in the parade when we have their names in the military like "the 14th Anti-war Mechanized Infantry."

I say "Hell No". The war protestors do it every week in and week out. Now that they can be sued for protesting at a soldiers funeral (which I really like) and they need new avenues to express themselves. (poor things).

Veterans Day is for Veterans that proudly served our country and have the right to parade their belief in serving this country. Not that all Vets are for war but the Vets that wish to should be allowed their chance to parade as much as they want without the anti-war protestors.

Veterans Day is a special day to say "thank you" to the many men and women who have served in order to protect the rights of idiots that will protest of the littlest thing.

"Little minds make little worlds"! Hose em if you have to but allow the Vets to express their right to parade as they save solem days for this, Not everday like some idiot protestor.

The Vets deserve a day of Peace without the village idiots protesting.
I think its a little thing to ask for the greater things they have defended for us.

I voted yes. If they are a former military against the war group. But No to the smelly dope smoking hippie type.

Said it in the other thread, I'll repeat it here. Veterans' day parades are not about whether one group or another disagree with current policy. They are about honoring those who served our country. Take your protest elsewhere, lest we let the veterans show you what they really think about your protesting an event honoring service.

Right with you on that.

Hell no, and as an aside; the most anti war people are the people that fight them!

I am so sick of all these anti war protesters like Code Pink who I think are really more anti American then anti war.

OH HELL YEAH!!! I never got up one single morning wanting to go kill a poor sap who's basically just following orders given by some lunatic.

But those stupid, ungrateful, (insert string of insults here) Code pinkos and thier ilk need to buy a ticket and haul thier butt across the pond and put a stop to this war in person if it bugs them so much. If you won't stand behind the troops, feel free to stand in front of them! Friggin pinko cowards!

Sorry, they just really piss me off.

No need to pull your punches, my good fellow. Just speak your mind!
