November 14, 200619 yr The Army recruiting station in the Oakland district of Pittsburgh here was vandalized a few weeks back. I got to see the carnage when I was walking to Bruegger's to get brunch. Disgusting. On the other hand, in weeks prior there had been protesters in front of it, basically making the argument that recruiters lie and protesting the war. I would think those are acceptable. Harsh reality -- It was probably those same protestors that vandalized it.

November 14, 200619 yr Respect the service? Totally. Respect a war that has nothing to do with protecting our rights as Americans? Never. Marines (and the other branches) don't make foreign policy, they merely carry it out. Taking it out on the people that have no part in the decision process of going to war is just stupid. It's like killing medical students to prevent the stem cell research bill from being passed. Agreed.
