Tracy, don't know if you heard but there was a big protest Sunday thru Schenley/Flagstaff Hill & down Morewood. Mr. 33 said it was odd to have war protests before it was even certain we were going to war and I said "well, that's when we SHOULD have them, silly."
I think Vietnam era protests were different because so many of those men were drafted. Probably a lot of the guys in the trenches were in total agreement with the protestors. But now with pretty much everyone in the military having gone into it willingly, I don't know how they could NOT take it personally.
Honestly though, if the people actually fighting the war think they're doing what is right, I don't think the protestors will deter them from their mission. A voluntary, trained military is a hell of a lot different than a drafted military and those men deal with people who are against what they do every day.
