I'm glad Rutgers lost again. One of these signs manifested itself Sept. 7 at the Rutgers University-Navy football game hosted by Rutgers. As the Midshipmen took to the field, they were hit by a chorus of "boos" and profanities. When Navy kick-returner Reggie Campbell was injured aftera return, Rutgers chanted repeated obscenities. The verbal abuse continued, not only against Navy players, but their families and fans as well. While some might dismiss this display by Rutgers' fansas "boys being boys," itis a sad commentary on the failure of Rutgers' fans to recognize the selfless sacrifices soon to be made by young men like Mr. Campbell, and already being made byhundreds of thousands of others, in putting their lives at risk to protect those hurtling profanities at them. While the Rutgers chanters will be going off to the comfort of corporate America, the players they berated will be placed in harms' way — some undoubtedly even paying the ultimate price to protect American values. One would have thought Rutgers students would have given the Middies a standing ovation as they took the field. In failing to recognize the Midshipman as heroes for their willingness to fight a war most Rutgers fans won't, they clearly fail to understand the threat confronting America today.
