But they support the troops!

Moonbats have the right to rant, yet

it is a PRIVILEDGE to serve and wear the uniform.

Keep your heads up guys, lots of us appreciate you.

The proper response to a close ambush is to immeadiately counter assault with maximum force and fire power.

Were they wearing GOT HOPE? t-shirts?

Why not travel in uniform - in groups of three or more? I'd love to see how brave this filth is when the odds are agin' em.

Do Moonbats have a death-wish?

/just wondering...

It's truly a sad day when our fine troops face such disrespect and slander from the very citizens they protect. Especially in the capital of this great nation.

I'd say "shame on the left", but they're obviously devoid of any semblance of shame.

Here are a few friendly reminders of personal protective measures that can help you to stay safe:
- If possible, do not commute in uniform (military members)

- Be prepared to use every skill the military has taught you to defend yourself.

- Do not take any crap from Punks who mouth off to you, your country of your branch of service.

- After the punks are taken down, call an ambulance to clean up the mess.

Fix Bayonets! A solution to many problems.

...Should you be approached by any individuals expressing anti-government/anti-war sentiments, or anyone else wearing a MSNBC basball hat....

Omigod! Uniformed soldiers in the nation's capital, site of the Defense Department and the Pentagon! We must be under military dictatorship!

10 moonbats vs one United States Marine - I like the Marine's odds. Marines are trained for combat. Moonbats are trained to complain.

I hate moonbats.

I haven't heard this about this and I ride metro. I hope someone has alerted WMATA.

Why not wear a yellow star?

There should be a law...

[Link: www.dailymail.co.uk...]

That or military personnel should be given free reign to defend themselves against domestic enemies (read: moonbats).

re: #16 addison

To be honest, I am sometimes concerned about wearing a star of David in public here.

Yes America is engaged now.
at ALIPAC they will have 5.3 million page views this month they think
last month, 4.1 million

They and numbers usa are asking for help to strip the H-2B low wage visa's off the Iraq spending bill.

you go America take your country back from the two party evil money cult.

As a foreigner, every time I see a US military personnel during my trips to the US, I go by and thank him/her for their service, regardless of their ranks, their race, their creed and looks. The world, the free world I might say, owes an incredible debt to the USA.

Thank you US military for securing the world. For making the world a better place. Thanks!

We all know what should really be done.

No one had better insult a man or woman in any uniform in my presence.
I promise that will transform me in to Mr. Grumpy Pants.

Lord, I really hate moonbats.

I used to ride the Metro all the time when I lived in DC (traveling to the Crystal City stop). I always say men and women in uniform, and I always wished them a good day.
I guess i was in the minority.

Can you believe they are telling members of the most lethal fighting
force in the history of the world that they must be careful on the streets of their own country?

I am telling you, the leftists are going to get a serious wake-up someday.

- If possible, do not commute in uniform (military members)

In Washington D.C. ?!?

WTF is happening to this country?

So, members of the US Armed Service, whose job is to protect and serve the people of this grateful nation (well at least those who realize what a tough job they do and honor and respect their service), now have to watch their back in DC because a bunch of anti-American [deleted] have taken to verbally assaulting them.

Nice. Stay classy leftists.

Meanwhile, this is a glimmer of insight into who we're fighting and what we're fighting for in Iraq.

Should you be approached by any individuals expressing anti-government/anti-war sentiments, or any other types of direct verbal assault, immediately notify your local police jurisdiction.

What do you do if you're surrounded by them as far as the eye can see in every direction?

Repost, sorry wife was yelling at me..

Correction of tense.

If these events had happened to Muslims, CAIR and the ACLU would be all over it. Seems like today the people who are trying to destroy our country have more rights than those who are staking their lives in defending it.

"....Uniformed members have been approached by individuals expressing themselves as anti-government, shouting anti-war sentiments, and using racial slurs against minorities."

Since they're in DC, I'm sure DouDou will be investigating this blatant demonstration of racism against our troops!

/in related story, temperature in Gehenna approaching 32 degrees F

As a former member of the armed forces, I find this very insulting and to be told that we have to back down and retreat from this kind of thing in our country that we are fighting and dying to protect is just wrong. People should respect our soldiers enough to leave them alone and take up grievances with the politicians, not the men and women in uniform. I would pity them if they tried this in say - China or Iran, or heck almost any country but ours.

re: #28 zombie

You start drooling and holler HOPE! Change! We can do it!

Nuts. I never thought I'd see the day, least of all here with all the military bases in and near Northern Virginia, where members of our military would be encouraged to travel out of uniform.

But do not question their patriotism!

re: #28 zombie

Marines don't know how to do retreat. They simply attack in a different direction.

Now can we question their patriotism?

re: #38 Alouette

Now can we question their patriotism?

Hey, I said not to do that....

One time I walked up to a lone young sailor in the airport. He was maybe all of 20, wearing his cracker jacks, very dark skinned, tall and lanky. When I walked-up to him, he had this befuddled look on his face like "why is this old white woman walking up to me?"

I thanked him for serving. The expresson on his face was first more befuddlement, then relief than sincere happiness.

I never miss an opportunity to personally thank a soldier. I hope it helps them get thru the times when the moonbats rant.

- If possible, do not commute in uniform (military members)

Excuse me your supposed to be proud to wear your uniform. You have earned that right unlike the the scum that are taunting you who have done nothing.

So, just thinking out loud,

If I have some free time, just may take a trip to D.C. and go around
in some uniform, and suprise the hell out of some loon.....!

Metro's Yellow line (and Blue line) goes TO the Pentagon.

How are our uniformed military supposed to go to work on public transit without their uniforms?

"So they’ve got us surrounded, good! Now we can fire in any direction, those bastards won’t get away this time!” - Chesty Puller

How Very Sad.

They just never grow up, or if they do, they pass their beliefs to their children/grandchildren.
Same, same as in the Vietnam War era - had several friends who remained in the Active Reserve so they could earn a little extra cash and would travel to their once a month meetings in uniform and would be verbally assaulted and spit on. Of course, this was in New York City, circa 1973.

Must be why we had such a reputation for being violent people when we came back to the U.S.

Absolutely despicable. Our servicemen shouldn't have to put up with this shit.

re: #7 rabidsquirrel

It was here, at the Port of Oakland, where soldiers returning from Vietnam were spat upon by anti-war activists. The incident received so much publicity that it became a sort of modern urban legend -- that Vietnam vets were spat upon as they returned to the US, all over the country -- but as far as I know it actually only happened here.

The East Bay is ground zero for anti-American/pro-Communist sentiment.

At the other site, they are saying this may be a hoax. DOT can't tell DOD employees not to wear their uniforms. The military near my office are required to be in uniform. Has anyone sent this memo to Snopes? They will usually investigate.

Wow , When we were stationed on Crete Greece in the 70's, active duty were not allowed to wear their uniforms when traveling off base. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that it would happen in our own country. What a sad day

It actually reads the same as the warnings embassy staff get when traveling over seas. We got similiar briefs when I was stationed in Japan.

yep. Even our higher ups are starting to cut and run from these vermin! Aquiesence solves nothing. I quoted Dean Acheson earlier in another thread:

“No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies”

If that holds true and we don't straighten up our act, all will be lost...

re: #13 obscured by clouds

You never hear a Marine complain. My cousin-in-law was in Iraq in the dead of summer and all he would say when I asked him about it was "it's a little warm"

"If possible, do not commute in uniform (military members)."

Way to stand up to unhinged lunatics. Rather than bring in extra cops with orders to make "liberal" use of their nightsticks, let's have the military members skulk about in their civies.

You are admiting that your city is powerless to protect the noblest amongst us from it's citizens.

re: #49 zombie Uh, zombie - it happened in NYC too - please see my #46.

They do it because it is easy to be "brave" against someone who you know won't hurt you for your words and will otherwise protect your life at their own expense...

Personally IMO they should augment the SOP sent out with:

Note: If all else fails wipe the metro trains windows clean with the face(s) of the attacker and mention to the arresting officer that it must have been a case of sudden PTSD brought on by the "fighting words" of the assailant. Under these circumstances all PTSD claimants will be sent to the beach for 7 days to rest and recover on TDY with full per diem.

Disgusting.

re: #56 zombie

The high schooler needs a quick smack upside the head.

In one instance, a member was followed onto the platform by an individual who continued to berate her as she exited the metro station. Thus far, these incidents have occurred in the vicinity of the Reagan National Airport and Eisenhower Ave metro stations on the yellow line, however, military members should be vigilant and aware of their surroundings at all times while in mass transit.

I can say, unequivocally, (please forgive me if this offends) if I were to witness this, I would have been involved.

He would have had to come between me and her.

I don't call for fighting in the streets, but I'll be damned if I would sit back and let this happen.

If we have gotten to a point, where freedom of speech includes harassment of our service members, it has gone too far.

re: #1 Rogue198

Flashback to the days of troops returning from Viet Nam when our military people were advised not to travel in uniform etc.

How very sad.

John Catoe is the head of WMATA, Metro in DC.

Democrat Rep. Jim Moran is the moonbat representative for leftist, jihadist Arlington, Virginia which surrounds the Pentagon.

Democrat Senator Jim Webb is likewise our moonbat Virginia Senator.

Senator John Warner of Virginia is on defense committees.

Please contact them and protest this abuse of our troops.

re: #66 loppyd

I smell hippy roadkill. Like when an eighteen wheeler hits a deer going 80 mph on 495.

Here are a few friendly reminders of personal protective measures that can help you to stay safe:

Carry a gun. Remember: two rounds center mass, one round to the head.

This calls for a Guardian Angels type civilian escort group for military members. All willing to face assault and battery charges.

I'd bring a good book and ride the Metro for an 8 hour shift for a chance at enlightening some of our more disrespectful citizens.

But that's all just one angry man's dream.

re: #19 taxfreekiller

tfk, that's the 08' Supplemental Funding bill which should have been funded in Sept 08' and I'd almost guarantee a veto.

There will be howling about Bush not supporting the troops when Pelosi and Co. have been purposely holding-up funding to stop the Iraq War through funds attrition. After June, one of the first casualties will be the Armies ability to meet payroll...it gets worse from there.

re: #72 formercorpsman

The silence of the other riders is both deafening and scary. what if he was some psycho? While most Soldiers, and many in the Military, have a decent degree of fight in them, personal ability is not a magic shield that will keep her (or him etc) from harm versus a psychotic individual.
