I would have not only stood for him, I would have fought back to back with him. Why were there any innocent by standers or witnesses. No one went to this man's defense. I'm sorry, but all HELL shold have broke loose. A wounded soldier on convalescence leave gets attacked an no one fights at his side. That is shameful. Hang you head Ohio and crawl under the porch.

It's a little reprise of what worked for Kerry and pal Ted in Vietnam days. Fortunately they're having real trouble getting any critical mass in today's world. The constituency of the stoned attackers from behind ain't what it used to be.

I bumped into an older gentleman a few weeks ago withthe ultimate hat. If said WWII, Korea, Vietnam Veteran.

I also stopped, thanked him and shook his hand.

... alleged attacker, who police said ran into the crowd after the incident and was not arrested.

Something about this doesn't pass the smell test. An attacker who screams anti-military epithets while beating the crap out of a guy in a flag T-shirt, then simply "disappears" into a crowd at a Toby Keith concert? I've been to three Keith concerts, and any loud anti-military jerk trying to "hide" in our ranks would have been treated like a mouse trying to hide at a cat show.

Assault on a U.S. service member for terrorist reasons during wartime should bring the death penalty.

It's been done before. It didn't work out all that well. "An attack upon the king's men, is an attack up on the King himself."

And so it begins... The anarchist left has respawned their hatred for America and have infused the democratic party with a willful disregard for the US military. What next, John Kerry will lead the anti-war protests, remove our troops from Iraq, turnover the security of the US to the United Nations and this country will be in chaos. Why isn't this story Headline news... Does the main stream media realize what is happening again in america the hatred of the left will be the undoing of this great nation.

If they know enough to allege an attack, and they know the attacker's friend, Why has there been no arrest?

Now it begins again! Kerry's flop to antiwar will bring out the Maniac/Leftists. If going out in Public with support for GWB bring 4 or 5 of your biggest friends and another 2 or 3 with Video cams!

So, it starts all over again....
I did not go to Viet Nam..women Marines were not sent there. I did spend 71 to 73 in Okinawa, however. And as a Viet ERA retired veteran, we too got some of the hate speach as we went through the airports. It didn't seem to matter then if one had actually been to Viet Nam or not, just wearing the uniform ( and we had to then when we flew if we had military rates) was all that was needed to be the recipient of the vitriol.

I just heard from Nancy Burton, the reporter that broke this story. She said Foster would appreciate the cheering up from cards and letters of support. Nancy Burton is trying to get this story to President Bush and hopefully he will recognize Foster at one of his many Ohio visits.

Send cards and letters to:

Foster Barton

That would be very much in character for the president to acknowledge him somehow. Thanks for the address!
