As some readers may have noted, I am currently in Mosul, Iraq, due to come home within the next few months. I felt the need to write this, to express my disgust and sadness over the anti-war protest that took place in Cambridge on the Army's birthday.

I guess I have no problem with people expresing their opinion, at least their in a nation that allows it to take place. But to boo and his as the 11 year old, son of a Medal of Honor winner leads the pledge of Alligence? Christ, where's the compassion and respect? I had thought that Cambridge was an island of the intelligencia, that liberals were all about compassion, wrong assertion there!

I applaud my brothers in blue of the Cambridge (and probably SP) police for exercising REMARKABLY RESTRAINT. I would have had a very difficult time with this little exercise.

A final small rave to Ms Vennochi of the Boston Globe; I applaud your son's consideration of the military even though know the kid dosen't have a chance in hell of following through with you as a parent. Remember one thing, he'll be 18 and able to chose with out mommy someday soon!!

You should be disgusted. To protest a war while that’s there right but to boo an 11 year old that’s just bad business. Although I never served, the disrespect that shows I too would have a difficult time with it. And for that ladies son at the globe we should send the recruiters over there on his birthday.

What else would you expect out of the so called
superior intelectual people of Cambridge.

It looks bright when you see kids like him and
the one at the cemetry mabey there is some
hope.

Redpara, thank you for serving. Also there was a great photo of a HUPD cop and a Cambridge Cop carrying one of those shitbags to jail. It was in the other day's Boston Metro. Happy Birthday to my beloved Army.

I was blocking off Ash St for the Auxiliary that day. They were putting on the usual circus rally complete with costumes and annoying chants from what I saw :FM: . TPF also called over the radio about protesters making fun of WW2 vets that were attending. And I haven't had so many people come up to me and ask for directions in my life or complain about what's going on!

Too bad the blood was fake.
