Rod Dreher in The Corner writes an emotional take on the war and the protesters:
"[MSNBC Correspondent Chip] Reid said [the Marines] are wondering 'if people are going to spit on them when they get home, like in Vietnam.' [Anchor Dan] Abrams seemed close to breaking up by the thought that these men are fighting for their lives in the desert, and have doubts in their minds about whether or not the American people are behind them. Not that any of that will matter to the brats who are going to try to shut down Manhattan today. They are not worthy of the sacrifice those Marines are making. "
Amen, Rod. I fear I am related to one but my wife and I have been struck by the differences in honor, intelligence and maturity between the kids in the street and the men and women of the same age that wear our country's uniform.
