On that note Ill qoute a U.S Navy vet from UBI.

"That's just like when I came home from bombing Afghanistan back in 2001. A hippie from the Honolulu airport in Hawaii came up to me and spat in my face.

All I did was look at him square in his eyes and said "You know what, I'm glad to provide you the freedom so that you could that". Then I walked off."

Don't get too worked up about this. The armed forces are, first and foremost, paid to kill. I think they would agree with me, but I dont know that. If someone doesnt want to "respect" that, fine. What's it to you?

Maybe I just don't get the whole Support Our Troops business. Why support something you may find immoral?

gah, i dont know

There's better ways to protest and express your opinion than vandalism.

No, that's not true... that's like saying that the only purpouse for policemen is to put people in jail. They do it, but that's not their main goal or purpouse... it's just something that they unfourtanetly have to do in order to acomplish their real goals.

I have to agree with this, only the fewest in any military today ever have to kill.

Sure pouring yellow paint over a sign is disrespectful...but nothing more than a childish prank in my eyes. It seems like people would be less angry if they'd killed someone.

Maybe some community service... they could repaint the sign.

Lefties hate angry righties... so its only inflaming the whole thing.

Is it really anti-war or environmental? (that puerto rican island)... because I have nothing against environmental protest.

@ Wilhelm... its not that I have no respect... its just that I have a sense of humour. Sure I respect the base and its people... but its just a sign. If it meant something to me I'd be a little pissed off too... but not that pissed off.

I understand how these so-called hippies think, and they have the best intentions according to their view of the world. Perhaps they are a little misinformed and misguided, but no more than the submarine community of that town who've known nothing but navy all their lives.
