PCM is giving us news I never knew happened! I live 3 hrs from DC and I have never heard of anyone doing such horrible things to the memorials. My point is that these memorials should never be used as a symbol for someone's
protest against an unpopular war. Maybe these people are not anti-war protesters but there is a strong assumption that exists. I am offended by the term "left-wing" and "right-wing" as some political idealogy is currently in vogue and takes priority over what is really important: the respect of these people who died. I would never go to a graveyard and spray paint a headstone for a Halloween prank either!
Did you check the pictures out of the disgraced Memorials?

Most likely this is the work of stupid 13 year-olds who's brains are not yet developed enough to understand the tragedy of what they've done.
You are joking right. Did you check the pictures out of the disgraced Memorials? No teenagers did that.
Visit the links I posted in the first post of this thread. It might help you understand better.
Love your posts and it appears someone would like this kind of new surpressed.
Some people have no concept of respect.
They would love to see me banned.
During the Vietnam War, we did not have the internet, so we relied on just America's news media reports. Now, we have the internet and news gets out even better...
It should be a federal crime. Write your members of the U.S. Senate and the House.

I agree with you. It should be a federal crime. Write your members of the U.S. Senate and the House.

I would like that to be true, but there are too many rabid anti-war people around to dismiss it as just a prank by stupid kids..
It's definitely done by someone stupid though and hopefully they run a sting op (without OJ!!) on some of the memorials and hopefully catch the rude pieces of trash that are doing it.
What I object to more than the incessant hyper-patriotic rant and innumerable links to Gaggle of Ostriches or whatever is the rather blatant attempt to expropriate sites such as The Wall as the exclusive domain of the ultra-right wing. Those monuments belong to all Americans, and indeed to all humans who are or were touched by the tragic deaths and suffering on all sides that echo still from the events that those monuments memorialize. These are indeed no places to be desecrating. But in my view at least, that is precisely what the attack-talk and divisive ideas of those like PCM do...
Please keep posting. Let the average-Americans get to learn from you.

I agree, “Those monuments belong to all Americans, and indeed to all humans who are or were touched by the tragic deaths and suffering on all sides that echo still from the events that those monuments memorialize”, but where in his post was the “the attack-talk and divisive ideas” located? I can’t seem to find it, even when I look as hard for it as you and PT do. Maybe my agenda isn’t as finely honed as yours is.
Come on. You know that free speech thingy isn't for everyone.
Mr. Moderator, would you say that this guy's posts are mere political "spam"? He is mostly a copy/paste artist.
This quote is a perfect example of the the typical leftie: they try and shut up anyone who has a contrasting opinion, are loathsome of the military, those who serve, and all it stands for, and are downright nasty.
Keep up the good work ProudCapMarine, I enjoy reading your posts.

Thank you very much.
I really feel bad that these Lefties are getting so upset. Lately, their actions are becoming very clear to the American People. I'm hoping, this disgracing of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial WALL gets the proper attention.
Hillary, MoveOn and the New York TIMES are in the news everyday.
They should all be recognized for what they do to support the terrorists.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS
