Protest
I traveled with others to Washington, D.C., Saturday morning to join the March on the Pentagon. People were there in droves, mostly war protesters but there were a few pro-war protesters there. We walked through them on the sidewalk shortly after arriving. I have some video of that. I have a lot of video and pictures from the entire trip. I have the pictures uploaded to a Flickr album. Leave comments as you please.
I want to state this, though: Most, if not all, anti-war protesters are expressing their anger towards the current government administration, NOT at the soldiers who are serving their country. And while pro-war protesters shouted insulting remarks at anti-war protesters, ranging from insults on sexuality, gender, "get a job," (which I don't understand because many, if not all, DO have jobs!) and others, anti-war protesters did not shout anything back of such volatile language. Instead, they held their posters higher, chanted louder, and walked on.
