well, i just learned that during my Civil War reenactment units St. Patricks day parade in Sanfransisco is during a 50,000 man anti-war protest. A few of the soon to be protesters at my highschool said that they will egg us because "You represent war, and you should be representing the troops coming back home). what the...We are in the St. Patricks day parade for 2 reasons.
1. We are an Irish unit.
2. It has nothing to do with the protest. Its just fun.
k. ranting over. if this is in the wrong forum, can someone please move it. thanks-Shanks

go and get egged like a champ. that's utterly sad that they're just looking for someone to bully on. If I still lived in the area I'd come and cover you with a paintball gun yo. just laugh as they brandish an egg and get painted and covered in welts as I painted em from a nearby rooftop. punks. if you get egged, you can be proud when you get home that you're on the side that is respectable, and actually doing something productive for the good of the community, not causing a disturbance and all that. I'm a veteran, and an ex infantryman and former desert warfare instructor and I can tell you that in this day and age, the people in Iraq and Afghanistan are the people who want to be there, who believe in being there, and have the balls to be there to try and do what France did for us in the past when they helped us win our independence from England. the people who may throw eggs at you are basically saying that they don't believe in spreading freedom and protecting those who want to be free and that's just sad. I'd feel sorry for the people threatening to throw eggs, seriously sorry for them, because they're the ones who talk freedom but don't ACTUALLY have the courage to stand up to help other people have it which is what every one of our soldiers is awesome enough to be willing to give their lives for. our soldiers are apart of the greater good (no tau reference intended  ) and are apart of it willingly of their own choice and desire. they go of their own free will and the people who say they'll egg you may say they support the troops but the eggs in their hands are proof that they actually don't and that their stance is all a bunch of bluff - they aren't supporting the people who have volunteered to go to war to bring what we have to another complete nation even though that's what they are saying they support. sorry for the rant but those kind of people urine me off - the worst injustice in the memory of people my age is the fact that true heroes coming home from vietnam got spit on and yes, egged themselves. this is something that's pretty much along the same lines and you'd think these pieces of trash would have some respect. war messes a soul up, and coming home is the hardest thing - when I got out of the service, I spent years homeless and destitute, totally unable to fit in with ordinary society, but I would do it again because I believed in what I was doing - keeping people alive, teaching our people to overcome the badguys and make it home to their families, and bringing the gifts of america to other nations like iraq who want that for their own. people throwing eggs at people who represent the soldier doing his job are a disgrace and it makes the vein in my forehead literally bulge with rage to hear of people threatening to do some stupid bull like this. I hope your parade goes well, and if you take an egg, know it's one that won't be there to hit one of the brave souls who are deployed, busy at their work, because that's who your jerkoff classmates are saying they'd prefer to throw those eggs at. know I'd love to march by your side in that parade too and take an egg. I'd actually like that - I'd take an egg and show them that their stupidity couldn't phase me. |

WHat is the point in 'protesting war' (since we all know that there is not many quiet protests anymore) when all they are doing is trying to start a small scale one?? No sense at all...
Go and be proud of the history and the day and everything else you represent to the community.

I feel like I should appologize for my tirade, but I really believe in supporting our troops and what they're doing. it's just the way it is, and when you have a gun in your hands and a missile on your back you don't mess around - when you go to do something you do it all the way.

I Myself served in The Canadian Armed Forces ... Be it, It was Only in the Reserves (Air reserves) and my Time Was Done by the Time The Gulf War Started however I was Sent to Other Places During my 5 Year term ..... As Much as I am Opposed to why The US is in Iraq and what They Left in Afghanistan (Is it Just Me, Or has Afghanistan become the US Forgotten War and Canadians Are Left to Clean up!?) I DO Still Support Our Troops Out there .... I Know why We're Out there, I may question it Abit But I understand and Support It ...
So show Pride For your Unit ... Protesting is One Thing .. Being A Public S.H.IT. Disturber is another .... I have No Doubt It'll be a Great Parade and be Proud Of Your Units Tradition and History ... I Support You ...

Wait! Your a Civil war reenactor too. AWSOME!!!! What unit are you from? I am A PVT. In the 10th illinois H Co. oh and about the people who are threatening to egg you that is why the bayonet it real.  sorry for the OT Ok well i have encountered something just like this and i think i responded in a formal and proper manner and guess what no one died. When they say you are doing the wrong thing man you should be helping those people. say realy well if you want to help them so bad go over there and do it, and send me a postcard if you live for more than 5 days you ignorant puke. (dont actually say this i am just expressing anger). I think it is insane do these people even know that our young men and women are off fighting for them. We fight to the enemy doesn't bring the war to us. If they want peace well guess what peace is impossible without war. and people should not be giving you and your fellow reenactors a hard time becuase the war you are protraying was a long time ago. But thats just what im saying i hope my words rang true. ps if you do get hit with an egg keep your head and your sight level. i wish i could fly over there to march with you in my gear. and i also think these people should be happy becuase you will not retaliate when being hit with and egg where as if it was a riot squad the protesters would soon find themselves unconcious with a nice welt on their head. So just know this they should be happy becuase if you where in the civil war and someting like this happened you would not let it slide you would beat that Peace loven tree hugger idiot. cheers dethklok |
