I can hardly believe I'm responding to this post, but I just can't help it.
I'm a veteran, so were my father, two uncles and my grandfather. If it was possible that all of us could be reunited and happen upon a peace rally, and someone had a different view than ours, I can assure you that instead of beating this person we would be proud that we have not served in vain. We served for freedom. A freedom for people to have different opinions. I believe we do need to retaliate, and would do so again myself if called, but I would not punch another American in the face who seeks a peaceful resolution taking away their personal freedom that we have fought so hard for over 200 years.
I'm hoping your post was all in jest the word "Reason" was accidental. :)
Now let's don't go start beating up peace seekers, let's go beat up the terrorists!
