There were "Letters to the Editor" in today’s New York Post headlined, FLYING HIGH WITH PRIDE: 'EAGLES' TO LAND IN D.C. .

Here's the best letter:

Thanks, Michelle Malkin, for your article, "Saying 'No!' to Cindy" (PostOpinion, Feb. 28).

I could go on and on about how pathetic a human being Cindy Sheehan is, but I won't waste my time and energy on this ignorant and misguided woman.

I will take part in that rally on March 17, in solidarity with the Gathering of Eagles.

I have a personal stake in the Vietnam Memorial, as the names of my captain, one of my lieutenants and 30 buddies are engraved there. I will be there to protect their honor and sacrifice.

For those who fought for it, freedom has a taste and a meaning that the protected will never know.

Arthur A. Faiella
Manhattan

Is there any kind of running count of Freepers who will be there on the 17th?

They are literally rent a mob. Temp agencies get calls from them and they hire temps at 12 an hour guaranteed 8 hours pay to participate.

I know someone in the temp agency office who told me this. She's a democrat too and anti war but disgusted they are doing this.

And I'll be there to support you. I'm going to be honored to wear the dogtags of a WW II veteran, former POW. He has Alzheimer's and his wife is caring for him, so neither can be there. They were at the Dedication of the World War II Memorial. I'm going to check with family and friends to see if they would like me to carry a memento for them to represent their presence.

Thank you for passing along the your Arthur Faiella's letter. It will be a great honor for me to stand among so many heroes.

I love Michelle, but she has a fundamental flaw in her thoughts about the size of a liberal-vs-conservative protest gathering-

It is not lack of support, it is just that WE have jobs.

I love it that Michelle reads here and personally replies to email- I treasure the last one I received from her.

you are right! and the reason we lost 2006 (after winning 2000, 2002, 2004) was that we got tired of being crapped on after voting conservative then having them turn into SHEEP and RINO's.

Rush was right- they never knew how to act like winners (and only the 2000 Rush Republicans seemed to know why they won)

That would make a GREAT news story- send the idea into FOX and other new outlets, maybe even write it yourself (or at least gather some facts to present)

THEY COME PREPARED TO DO BATTLE and they are well organized.

Seriously, it's not just bandanas over the faces, they have BMX or hockey pads and protection on under their clothes, they bring improvised weapons like D-Cell batteries in socks, flammable liquids in unmarked water bottles, etc.; stuff that can be quickly assembled or disassembled into innocent components carried by multiple persons.

If their target is the Memorial, they will likely create a diversion to get the police away from the Memorial. If they want the Gathering of Eagles folks away, they will create a physical confrontation with them in one area, hoping to draw the rest over and then they'll hit the unprotected area. If you're protecting an area, stay at that area. When your adrenalin gets going, you'll want to go help, DON'T DO IT. The Eagles need to have people free from protection assignments to respond to these diversions so the Memorial is not left unprotected.

They use cell phones, hand radios, police scanners to keep their people informed. They will have folks on bikes or skates so they can move quickly from one spot to another (unprotected) spot.

Oh and most important: As tempting as it will be, do not let the black block folks draw you into any violence. Philosophically, you don't need to lower yourself to their level. Practically of course you can defend yourself, but be forwarned that the black blockers will turn that around on you too.

They will have people whose only job is to get photos and video. Any pics or vids of you defending yourself will never see the light of day. Any pic or video that can be construed as you initiating violence or "over" defending yourself will be on the media and attached to a criminal complaint, a lawsuit, etc.

Because of this it is important for the Eagles folks to have assigned pic and video people too. The black blockers will injure themselves and blame it on you. They will start s--t with you and only film you responding. They have lots of free time to edit their videos and pics then distribute them to anyone who will look.

The DC cops, Capitol Police, and Parks Police already know all this from experience.

I'm on the other side of the country and can't be there. Please pass this info on to the Gathering of Eagles folks. The more prepared they are, the less chance of success from anarchists. It's important they don't succeed because if they do it just emboldens them to stoop even lower for their next "action."

No one has the Constitutional right to desecrate a monument.
