My observation as well. I and several of my riding buddies were stopped at a McDonalds and saw a couple of punks giving some Marines some crap. They were acting all big and bad and it was apparent that they knew very well that the Marines were not going to retaliate for fear of someone reporting them. We walked over and told the punks that we knew the fine young men in uniform were not allowed to harm them but that we were under no such constraints and would happily kick their asses as a way of thanking the Marines for their service. I thought the punks were going to wet themselves. They nearly ran from the place. We got a nice “Semper Fi” from one of the Marines which we considered an honor.
