When anti-American organizations and demonstrators march through our city streets spewing hatred and venom, many Americans simply shrug their shoulders, assuming without question that the streets belong to the malcontents.
I completely disagree! The professional soldier experience I have does not accept this idea or the mentality that it is so because they are crazy or it has always been that way.
As we saw a generation ago, street theater can be turned into political muscle, especially when most of the country's voters remain uninformed on the facts, and we have a weak-kneed Congress.
In the 1960s and 1970s the late President Richard Nixon questioned the commitment of "The Silent Majority" even as the vocal minority used media collaboration to give the impression that they owned the streets, and thus, the moral high ground.
We saw the results of this misguided policy in the communists' murderous rampages in Southeast Asia after pro-communist groups prevailed upon the US Congress, mainly through street theater and accompanying media fraud. Congress abandoned our allies in that region and turned victory into defeat. "Kerry Lied, Millions Died" should have been the American rallying cry, instead of anti-American bombast and misrepresentations.
We will not repeat the previous generations pathetic history of home front surrender while our soldiers were winning all their battles in Vietnam. Our current warriors defending our freedom will be supported, there will be no repeat or stain of dishonor.
Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War has morphed into a gaggle of mimics, calling themselves Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW). Using Kerry's pro-communist VVAW as a model and Kerry as a mentor, the IVAW intends to hold a "Winter Soldier Investigation" on March 14, in Silver Springs, Maryland, alleging, as Kerry did in 1971, that US troops of this generation are war criminals.
A new voice in being heard on the home front. Eagles UP, http://www.eaglesup.us along with many other pro troop groups will be in town to counter the lies that IVAW will try to sell to America. The truth will be heard and we will expose the IVAW for what it is. The anti America crowd will be required to prove their anti America banter. Support America, learn more at www.eaglesup.us
