threw a fish at you?
a fish?
geez.
there are fuckwits everywhere.
routing this astonishing observation through the topic of the thread, the set of people who oppose this war is not equivalent to the set of fuckwits.
for myself, when i see someone in uniform i usually figure that the situation is not one in which i would start talking about the politics of the war. if i do talk with someone in uniform, and if they are heading to iraq, i usually wish them luck in not getting killed there or something like that.
if i ran into the head of the joint chiefs of staff in a tavern, it might go otherwise.
but that does not seem likely.

the folk who are getting sent there are getting sent there.
a fish?
jesus.
sorry you had to put up with that.
