Personally, all this talk about "Kicking Ass" is childish. I did not spend some of the best years of my life in uniform,  defending the freedoms this country cherishes,  threatening to kick some miscreant's ass over some slight. If they fail to show proper respect, then politely inform them of their error. Most do not even realize they are at fault. Many just need to be educated (or exposed).

Serving your country means defending the rights of individuals enumerated in the B O R, EVEN IF THEY DISAGREE WITH YOU.

We veterans are better than that, we should set the example.

 We do.

Getting off-subject, this reminds me of being in a bar in Yokohama and one side of the bar calling the other side Squids and the Squids calling the other Jarheads.  Big old bar fight with bunch of MPs and Japanese police coming in.  Semper Fi to all my little Navy brothers.

I'm a squid, my brothers were squids, my daddy was a squid as well.  My best friend is a jarhead, another friend is a grunt and I've known several flyboys, one of whom owns a Distinguished Flying Cross.  I lived in the New London area so I've known a few puddle jumpers as too...

I would stand beside each and every one of them and proudly defend the rights of those who cannot defend themselves.  It's what makes me who I am and what makes every Veteran my brother!

It's what makes me an American!  It's what makes us all Americans!

Harmony Hermit, You need to note somethings, 1) there is no such thing as freedom of expression The Constitution guarantees  the right to Free speech and freedom of the press, If I see some lowlife burning an American flag I WILL kick the crap out of him, and around here the responding Officer will sight the slimeball for inciting a riot.
2) Freedom of speech and freedom of the press do not legitimize slander, libel or treason.
3) These "Miscreants" as you call them, only insult our nation and our service because the socialists and media have convinced them that actions have no consequences, this is reinforced by "polite society" turning away and not educating them to the fact that actions DO have consequences, in the presence of those of us from less polite segments of society those consequences often involve getting the sh!t beat out of you.
