soldiers home

im interested to know if the american/canadian or other allied troops face such filthy protests at their homecoming parades??anyone tell me ?.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/10324027.stm .......:mad::mad:

 

Well......look at who is doing the heckling.

Not here and central command is at the airforce base here in Tampa.

Some of youse guys should drink up your liquid courage and show em what you think of their views.

If their damn country was so much better then why did they leave? They can go pound sand or thier camels for all I care if they want to disrespect the country they are in.

 

Discusted that these boys and what theyve done for us have to put up with this behaviour, when they get back to THEIR country...We as a country owe them a warm welcome home, and this should never have been allowed to happen. Priority should have been the rights of these lads that have put their lives on the line, not the rights of these dirty c**ts screaming abuse at them,whilst quite happily receiving benefits/healthcare etc from the country they obviously hate.

 

The same thing happened too the returnees from NAM. and GERMANY in 73 in NY.by our own people.

 

That was my point exactly, they can reap the benefits. They can't have their cake and eat it too. It is one or the other, and if they don't suppoprt the people defending theit benefits and freedom then leave.

 

that would be an extremely isolated event in the US, and I hope is not the norm in Great Britian. I have been in Korea for the past 18 months, but was stationed at two of the largest military bases in the US just prior to that. The only anti-military protests we received were from a fringe religious group out of Missouri I believe. A veterans group would park near them and rev their Harley motorcycle engines to drown them out, and the local city granted them a different place to hold their protest that was aways back from where they initially started outside of our front gates. This same group protests at the funerals of deceased troops, etc.
