Dozen turn out to protest Marine exercises

[Lars]

I'm actually amused it was only "Dozens" that turned out.

If one of the major presidential hopefuls is to be believed I'd have expected the headline to read.... Hundreds of thousands turn out to......

You know I'm not even wasting my breathe about the protesters, but I will say this, I seem to recall there is a sentence in that oath that you have to defend against all enemies both foreign and domestic

Jay,
From an army brat to someone who has served, Thank you and to all who have served or currently serving.

"Marines, not in our children's parks."

yeah, dont have the men that gave not only the ones holding the signs, but the children's freedom in the parks. i mean seriously, people have lost alot of respect for soldiers if they are saying that... but seeing how well our citizens are educated about wars from the media, i can understand if you have Marines in the park, thats the safest place you can be. i would rather have my kid look up to an American soldier ANY DAY than some dumb *** on MTV.
