I had thought our military people were a bit tougher than that.

Did this story pretty much go away? Yea, I thought so...

None of the Marines I know felt threatened by them. Those that even cared thought it was amusing. The funny thing about ensuring the right to free speech is that people will use that right, sometimes providing unintentional humor.

They aren't threatened. Why would you think they were threatened? I've seen some active duty / retired service members a little disappointed that their service went in to protecting the free speech of some of the Code Pink nitwits (you really couldn't make that video up : ) . Most of them laughed their buttocks off. In some ways, that video is a great validation on who the morons are...
