She's at it again

Well folks, she is at it again .... I turned on the TV today and there she was, Jane Fonda, doing the only thing she knows how to do but "act".... protesting the war....yup, her and Susan Sarandon among others.... For a brief moment I thought I was back in the late 60's..... same protesting faces, just older.  The damage she and others like her did during Vietnam was bad enough but now she has to take up the cause again and with her daughter and grandkids in tow.....

Regardless of what you think of the war, one can be against and even protest but to put protests on the scale of that done by these people as in the 60's is just plain wrong....Oh sure,  they have the right to do this but only because of thousands of men and women who paid the ultimate cost for them to do so.  I can only hope and pray that the effects that this kind of national protests had on soldiers in Vietnam doesn't do the same to those now in the field of fire.  In the 60's the enemy was embolden when they saw they could beat us at home, when on the battlefield they never beat us....

Let us all hope this war is over soon.... this is not war as we know it... it is an ideological war.... and the enemy simply wants us dead, bottom line.  Americans have no patience.  We want everything "right now".  That is the society we live in.....war doesn't work that way.

Whatever your view on the war.... go ahead and protest if you want, but keep it out of the press..... for the sake of our folks in uniform if for no other reason.
Just my thoughts.

  I think you're saying that if we lose 3 thousand troops in the war on terror, but free 51 thousand thousand people, and help save ourselves from more killings like 9-11,  its a war worth fighting. 1 of us per 17,000 freed;  best odds in a generation.
In a speech to Duke University students in 1970, Fonda told the gathering, "If you understood what Communism was, you would hope and pray on your knees that we would someday become Communist."
