Captain Ed has a letter from a reader about anti-American protesters plaguing the Pentagon, with a request for help in a counter-demonstration. Do we have any Potomac-area lizardoids who would be interested in showing support for the people who work there?

I’m a lieutenant colonel currently assigned to the Pentagon. The area around our Metro entrance is a popular location for moonbat protests; there’s a nice lady who stands out there maybe once a week with a sign. Occasionally, there are others. Of course their signs accuse us Pentagon types of genocide, etc., but imbued in their citizenship is the right to be cluelessly ignorant. Those of us in queue to enter the building are instructed not to react. It’s hard to comply, but the policy prevents escalation.

This morning, it took every ounce of professionalism not to react. For today, the moonbats were highly organized…about 50 of them. Two were arrested for getting out of line during just the 2 minutes I was out there. They had all the typical moonbat signs…“No Blood For Oil” and “Remember Fallujah” (this one held by a nice 70 year old lady…I do remember, ma’am, how the local residents strung up our contractors). The largest poster trumpeted a “There Are No Innocent Bystanders” theme.

I wish I had photos.

I’ve about had it with these intellectual midgets who don’t understand we’re at war. I wish I could compel each to read Hugh Hewitt’s book “If It’s Not Close…” as it explains our very real struggle in terms even a moonbat might comprehend. The constrast between this morning’s protestors and the service of our troops in country could not be more stark. Even if the protestors were correct (and they’re not), they’re protesting the wrong building…we execute the President’s orders. No more, no less. Go march in front of the White House, please.

Having said that, it’s their right to protest. Bring it on. But I’m wondering if among your readers is someone in the D.C. area who could organize and execute a PEACEFUL pro-military demonstration at the Pentagon Metro entrance? You have no idea how much it would help morale.

The Captain adds that the moonbats are not really protesting the wrong building; they’re exactly where they intend to be, deliberately working to undermine morale at the Pentagon. He’s right.
