If you are like me, you are still getting all these emails and articles and analysis addressing and analyzing the fallout of the the protest this past Saturday. I was not there, of course. I was not there because I do not oppose the war. However there were all these shits from my university who were there marching under the banner of my university. Not in my freaking name. I can't believe that people would protest in my name. It was bad enough that the official posters said something like "the world says no to war". I DO NOT SAY "NO" TO WAR. I support the decision of my country. I am really tempted to get school T-Shirts and sew American flags on them and write something like "We Support Bush".
Anyway, as I understand it, the whole thing did not have any impact on our troop morale. That is good. If there are any military personel out there reading this, I hope they realize that they are protecting our right to protest, and even our rights to say stupid things. That is democracy.
