[Vision2020] iraq war protest jan 27

[Matt Decker]

Bill,

I respect your opinion to oppose this tough war. I don't understand how you 
or the other protesters can find it in yourself to protest against our 
military. One that does many more things than fight wars. Fighting fires, 
helping in times of need, saving lives in Katrina, and helping drowning 
boaters, are just a few off the top of my head.

Most of these volunteers are serving our country with pride. Many do it do 
better their lives. Many do it to serve their country. But, many DO IT. To 
show your opposition to them is a slap to the face. Myself being a vet, I 
find it insulting, and I have nothing to do with this war. Not only are you 
protesting the recruitment of future military personnel, but also proir. 
Were you also against the recruiting of WW2 vets? How about peace time vets?

Have fun with your protest. I myself won't be there. But please keep it off 
of our militarys back.

Matt
