The 'Peace' Brigade vs. The Stryker Brigade

Michelle Malkin

Last week, I wrote about the Gathering of Eagles -- veterans, active-duty troops, bikers, activists and ordinary citizens coming to Washington, D.C., on March 17 to hold a counter-protest against tens of thousands of anti-war extremists demanding immediate withdrawal of our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.

In Washington state this week, the peace brigade held a dress rehearsal at the Port of Tacoma -- where they showed support for our troops by taunting the Stryker Brigade and local police guarding against obstruction of the convoys headed to Iraq. More than 300 Stryker vehicles and other equipment are being moved from Fort Lewis to Iraq in support of the 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division's upcoming deployment as part of the ongoing "surge" and counterinsurgency efforts. The Strykers are equipped with slat armor to protect the troops from rocket-propelled grenades.

It's too bad we don't punish treason the way we should. I would volunteer for the firing squad.

Ever notice that Liberals ALWAYS have time to protest & cause trouble? The rest of us have to work & support our families. The Dims expect the government to support them, while we pay.

I, too, wonder why they aren't arrested for treason....they can protest & cry "1st Amendment rights" all they want, but when they stoop to destroying government property, or impeding soldiers in carrying out their duties, then they have crossed the line into criminal activity.
