Attacks Against Military Not Limited to Recruiters

Michelle Malkin chronicles the attacks that have taken place on military recruitment centers all over the United States during the past few years, and it’s probably one of her longest posts ever. Radicals frequently attack these centers, and since the punishment is so light or non-existent, I expect it to continue.

Liberals frequently gloat that they support the troops, but just don’t support the war. It’s all about Bush you see, and his illegal war. Ugh.

Democrat leadership in Washington seems to be caught in the middle. Well, not really. I guess it’s better said that they want to eat their cake and have it too. What they want, dollars and support from the fringe way-left and the ability to do the right thing – not pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan – are not compatible goals.

Code Pink and the other liberal wackos don’t just attack recruitment centers, they also attack the troops themselves and the supplies they need to do their job. It happens all the time.

What’s next? I’m concerned, and would not be surprised, if fringe moonbats were to start providing information that may make it easier to attack our troops overseas or in the states. Think it’s not possible? Let’s review one of the attacks Malkin reminds us about.

January 20, 2005. At Seattle Central Community College, Army recruiter Sgt. Jeff Due and his colleague, Sgt. 1st Class Douglas Washington were surrounded by an angry mob of 500 anti-war students. The recruiters’ table was destroyed; their handouts torn apart. The protesters threw water bottles and newspapers at the soldiers, shouted profanities, and wielded their fists. The far Left Students Against War had been agitating to kick the recruiters off campus. The college administration refused to punish the mobsters.

So, how far will they go?
