jhild, the fact that you are puzzled doesn't surprise me. This is exactly what you said.

<<<Just because you are in the military doesn't mean that you have a corner on patriotism. Pulling out a bloody flag and saying that those that protested on any soil were twisted, serves no purpose except reopen the wounds of a nation that was deeply divided over an issue with many sides.>>>

Now please tell me where I have misunderstood the meaning of what you have written here. You were clearly trying to use my profession as an angle in your argument. You were the one who brought it into the discussion not I.

I never said Jane Fonda spit on the troops. Though I do believe she supported others who did at the time.

Yes, you are confused. But then again so were most of the protestors of the sixties. :-)

Michael

Jhild, people who were in favor of continuing the war in Viet Nam have alleged many times that anti-war protestors spat on the troops when they came home, and called them baby killers. I don't believe Michael is saying that Jane Fonda did these things. I certainly did not do them either, and I have never met anyone who did, but it must have happened at some point. Certainly, this charge simply inflames the rhetoric, and continues to polarize the two opposing sides.
