"We had the park and we wanted to do something positive to support the troops families, but that wasn't as important as an anti-war protest which hurts the troops' families," said Lynn Huber, a member of the North Carolina chapter of the Free Republic.
What has hurt the troops families is the lies that got us into war in the first place, the lack of body armour, the lack of armoured vehicles to safely transport them, and the fact that we had no business sending troops over there in the first place.
I think anti-war protests are the best way to send a message that people DO care about the troops, by encouraging an end to this needless war and bringing them home to safety.
I still think we could do more to protect America here by beefing up our borders, enforcing visitor Visas, inspecting shipments before they reach our ports, and providing more eyes and ears on American streets. It would lower the risk of terrorist attacks, would snuff out crime in America, and might add a few jobs here in America instead of India.
I'm glad the Free Republic's permit was denied. Good for Fayetteville! :thumbsup:
