The next time you hear a lefty, anti-war type tell you they’re against the war on terror but they support our troops, remember this little incident.
There is a visceral hatred among many on the left of our military,
though they find it politic to try to hide that. A good example is a
PTA meeting I attended years ago where a discussion arose about career
day at my kids’ elementary school. One of the parents, a well-known
minister of a left-wing congregation, rose and went on an anti-military
rant when he heard that military recruiters were invited to the career
day. That was several years prior to 9/11. He has since been quoted in
the local media as supporting the troops but being against the war.
Yeah, right. Just like that principal in Georgia. By the way, this
story has a happy ending.
