Well to be blunt I think that sentiment is a load of crap. I find it amazing that we live in a country that was founded BECAUSE our forefathers wanted us to be able to protest and change our government, and now that people ARE protesting it, they're told they're wrong to do so. Getting elected president is not and should not be carte blanche to do anything you want with NO opposition from anyone. That's not only absurd, it's a very dangerous way to think.

but I will _NOT_ riot, picket, protest a war that is going on just cause I think its bad, I think its total bullshit. I just have to say to the people that do protest the war and other things of the sort; these soldiers, be it American or other, are doing their job, would you appreciate it if I got a mob together to protest your work?

In that case, welcome to the ranks of the American Sheep. People who are protesting the war are NOT protesting the soldiers - that's Republican propaganda that's been spread around to try and quell the protests. We are protesting the war itself. How can it be anti-soldier to want to bring the soldiers home where they are safe?
If I were doing something that I was ordered to do and the order was immoral, I would certainly hope my fellow countrymen would protest the order. If enough people protested it, those who gave the order might just be forced to rescind it so I could go home and stop being forced to do those immoral things.
