Since then, Wars have been fought both here and all over the world to protect your right to freedom of speech. Also to give others that same right. This has been done by Veterans, not those who have not served. Some are so selfish that they feel no one else should have this right. They are called war protesters.

And yet you're angry and people who are /against/ the war?
Some of you have fetishized the military to the point where you've completely lost sight of its purpose. There's nothing honorable about the military if it's misused, from Iraq to Vietnam to the Philippines to Cuba to Mexico and a thousand places in between.
The final arbiter of an action's morality must always be the individual who carries out the action, or else there is no accountability. Any soldier who is ordered to carry out an illegal activity is obligated to refuse! "

We took an oath to protect those rights Mr Gun, and I will not turn my back on the oath just because it is easier that allowing someone else to have an opinion.

" I work for a living. Must be nice do nothing with your life. They look like they are doing to a Gratful Dead concert. They have no clue what is going on in life out there. Ask the people of Georgia. War has giving these dirtbags the freedom to walk down that bike trail. "

" Man, wouldn't it be great if this were China and armed soldiers would beat these protesters and haul them away, never to be seen again! In fact, let's do that to ALL the "hippies" and malcontents ... that would solve all our problems. "

" i have to ask. if they are doing this to draw attention to their 'cause'. wouldn't walking down a 'bike trial' sort of defeat that purpose? not like there are going to be a lot of people to intereact with on the trail. but i guess it does mawe for a very nice 'photo op'. and Trib this is story number 3 on the pro protesters, how many more can we expect?

" Good call possum, I am guessing they are more willing and greatul to fight for my "spew" of patriotsim and support, rather than people that burn the flag that they are fighting for.
Just a hunch though. "

" Theses people are the same hypocritical, seditious types we had protesting the Vietnam war and siding with the enemy.
Their issue is much less about whatever fighting our forces are doing to defend freedom and liberty as they are about fundamentally destroying the liberties of this republic and what they are based upon. Obama cannot protect America! "

" Wouldn't it be nice if they actually did walk - they have a beat up old bus parked down the road that they jump in and drive the majority of the distance. They parked it about .5 miles from the Fort McCoy entrance then walked to the gate. They are doing the same thing all along there trip.
Maybe they should try the same thing in Georgia and see how the Russians react. "

" The picture of the hippies looks kinda like a "lord of the rings" scene. I guess they're too busy walking to fill out a job aplication or take a shower. The library on Thursday is gonna be smelling awful ripe. "

" Oviously dude you didn't serve then, because freedom of speech is one of the things we fight for. Even for your spew too. "

" He faugt for the flag and now he is on the side of people that burn the flag. He is a coward and a traitor. There is a reason why nobody pays attention to these hippy clowns, their opinions don't count. "

" I see no one sreaming , but lets just throw that lie in for good measure. Because when some one we dislike is doing nothing wrong lets make some thing up so we can sound legitimate. Oh and dude one or your cowards was there, how about you big mouth. "

" Five people walking 100 miles. What a statement. How about get a job? I don't necessarily agree or disagree 100% about the war at this time, but I do think people holding signs screaming in my face as I walk or drive by is anything but productive. "

" Yeah whatever, keep on walking, nothing to see here.
If they tuely wanted to stop the war, they would be doing this in a war zone.............................cowards. "

" People who are following the creed of non-violence as the answer to what to do, tip my hat to them. I also hope humanity grows beyond this selfish perspective of the world that allows such an atrocity as war to be accepted as the norm for "civilized" people to handle their differences of opinion "
