Indeed!
Which is the very reason I force myself to stay away from the War protests... I know damn well I would make front page national news if I went Asiatic on that crowd! It would be too easy...
I understand how you feel, but I think you would be surprised, especially with all the support around you.
Those young Marines, on the other hand, were full of piss and vinegar when it came to the protestors. I thought we might have to collar and leash them. When the antiwar protesters surged in on us and nearly surrounded us, one of the scumbags started yelling at us "We sent those people over there without body armor and with unarmored humvees..."
One of the Marines nearly leaped across the human wall and started yelling at the person "I WAS ONE OF THOSE "PEOPLE" IN THE HUMVEES OVER THERE! I'VE HAD FRIENDS WHO DIED OVER THERE! YOU'VE NEVER BEEN THERE! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!"
He was smokin hot. Didn't shut the protester up, though. Went right over the head.
