Being an Officer...a Black one.....is sometimes hard. [Howard Rollins from "A Soldier's Story"] Sometimes being an Officer is difficult....not because of hard tasks, short timelines, or all of the worries involved in the care of your Soldier's, but the aura of professionalism and objectivity that you must display at all times. There have been many times that I have wanted to make a comment, yell, cuss at someone, or otherwise let my personal feelings be known about a subject, but unfortunately I could not because of my position. Let me tell you about two incidents that bothered me in particular. I was in Dallas Ft. Worth airport waiting to catch a flight on the last leg of my TDY trip to help a returning unit at Ft. Sill. As I went to my gate, I saw 4 Sailors in their black uniforms gathered at the gate...one was large and white, the other three were black. There was very little room, and many of them were standing intermingled with civilian airline passengers...

Even in a democracy there should be some lines drawn where people can protest and express their opinions. Protesting at a family's private funeral of a fallen soldier should be against the law.
I'd go "postal" if I saw this happening in my community.
I cannot bear the smugness of those who are so arrogant as to think they know God's will. Insufferable.
People like those shown in the video are the natural outcome of multiculturalism, which holds that all cultures are "equal." If all cultures are equal, then ours is nothing special, not worth defending. Patriotism withers and dies.
The next step towards the abyss is the "realization" that our culture is "oppressing" others. After all, if all cultures are equal, yet ours is more successful, then it must be because we're holding the others down, right? So now, instead of just valuing others equally, the multi-cultis actively denigrate their own culture. Patriotism becomes evil. We are looking into the depths of hell.
The solution? To value traditional American values, like honor, truth, hard work, liberty, and justice. Even more, to value America, a real country, in a specific place, made of a particular group of people, with a shared background.
People who hold up those signs and parade their hatred around like this are the worst kind of "free-thinkers".
I support our troops 100% and I think it is a sickening disgrace that these people do these things to try to cheapen the names and jobs of our military men and women.
I am disgusted by their lack of grattitude and respect for our troops and I wish that our mainstream media would focus on some of the positive things people are doing to try to show their support for our troops instead of constantly shining the spotlight on those with extreme malintent.
To all of our troops - those of us that love and support and respect you far outnumber the hatemongers.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!
