"A Massachusetts law professor has created a campus firestorm with an email to colleagues that declares it would be "shameful" to send care packages to U.S. troops "who have gone overseas to kill other human beings."
But... but... some people just need killin'!!
Quote:
"Avery reportedly takes exception to the flag as well, claiming that its hanging is "not a politically neutral act.""
Well, the idea of him hanging from a flagpole may not be 'politically neutral' either, but the idea sure brings a smile to my face!
Local professor: Collecting care packages for troops is 'shameful' (http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/local/suffolk-univ.-professor-will-not-collect-care-packages-for-troops - broken link)
This professor thinks so.
When you consider they are employed by the state (not the people) as empire builders and killing those who resist it's efforts along with innocents, I'd tend to agree.

As a military member, I don't really care what this college professor thinks. He's entitled to his opinion. If I had his address, I'd strongly consider getting the guys I'll be in Afghanistan with next year to get together a care package for him. It would be fun to see what they send.

HA! I like what this guy from the article says:
"Paul Spera, past commander in chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, blasted Avery's remarks on Monday, calling the professor's argument "despicable."
"The shameful thing is that he’s teaching our young people," Spera told FoxNews.com.
"One of the things that we've learned from Vietnam is to separate the warriors from the war. You can be opposed to the war -- you can disagree with the tactics and the political decision involved -- but the individuals on the battle field are there protecting us," said Spera, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam."

Free country isn't it? Why promote violence when someone is speaking their mind?
I don't agree with him, I think he is a moron for not supporting the troops. But he could easily support the troops and be against the war.
But I served, and if this moron wants to spout whatever, good for him, he has that right. I would never promote any violent behavior against someone speaking their minds. I hope his students drop his class though.
