RAF Ordered to Go Incognito
While recruiting offices are picketed or bombed in the USA, British RAF personnel have been ordered not to wear their uniforms while off duty in their own country, lest they provoke verbally abusive moonbats or get kidnapped by Muslims.
Eventually the soldiers who offer their lives to defend us are going to get the idea they're fighting for countries that don't exist anymore.

" . . .they're fighting for countries that don't exist anymore."
Even worse, they're going to realize that they're fighting for fellow citizens who don't give a damn whether they do or do not fight, who don't give a damn whether they live or die. At that point, they'll quit, with full justification, they themselves not giving a damn whether their fellow citizens live or die. When it reaches that point, countries will cease to exist.

Strictly speaking the UK isn't a sovereign nation anyway, so they're already fighting for a country that doesn't exist.

"The insults have come from a 'cross section' of the community..."
Right. How many traditional, patriotic people were included in this "cross section"?

In other terror related news, American jihadi Adam Gadahn finds out he picked the wrong religion. Ace eulogizes.

An armed terrorist went into a Seminary school yesterday afternoon in Jerusalem and opened fire on unarmed students... our news is unindated with how much money the candidates are pulling in.
The names and ages of those who died, it is quite sobering.
Yohai Livshitz, 18, and Neria Cohen, 15 from Jerusalem
Yonatan Yitzhak Eldar, 16, from Shilo
Yonadav Haim Hirschfeld, 19, from Kohav Hashahar
Segev Peniel Avihail, 15, from Neve Daniel
Avraham David Moses, 16, from Efrat
Ro’i Roth, 18, from Elkana
Maharta Taruno, 26, from Ashdod
Seven of the wounded students in the shooting rampage are still in hospital, three in serious condition. Two were hurt when they jumped from the second floor window of the yeshiva library to escape the massacre. The Jerusalem police have recovered the vehicle used by the killer, Ala Abu Da’am, 20, a Jerusalem Palestinian with Israeli citizenship who lived in the southern village of Jebal Makaber and worked as a delivery-man.
His family set up a mourning tent and raised Hamas and Hizballah flags. Hamas praised the killings as “heroic.”
==================
That last sentence tells me all I need to know about terrorism and those that support it.

Time for all out war, folks.
During war, things will be black and white. There will be right and wrong.
Those on the wrong side will be punished or sent over to the other side to die like the dogs they are.
A warning to the Lefties, we have the guns and the military. Do you really think you stand a chance against the US military? They have used the utmost restraint in the WOT, but if all-out war arrives, the gloves come off and you and your Islamofascist buddies will be toast, literally.

I don't fancy the chances of any Muslim stupid enough to try to kidnap RAF personnel, especially on British turf.

Anti miltary bias is not new to the U.S., In a biography of Douglas MacAuthur, I remember a photo of the general, taken in the 1920's in Washington DC, of him dressed in civilan suit as it was thought unwise for military personnel to walk around in uniform.
Likewise, I have heard, long before, of military personnel stationed at San Diego, being pejoratively called 'swabies'.

"ex-expat at March 7, 2008 9:13 AM"
What you say is true, but it's nothing like the all-out hatred that has been cultivated since the sixties.
Durring the Spanish/American war, a "colored" unit rioted in Ybor City and "The Scrubs" in Tampa. Florida, burning some buildings and injuring many civilians. It is CLAIMED by historians that they had rioted because some white malitiamen from Ohio had fired at a four-year-old "colored" boy to see how close they could get without hitting him. BUT, the "colored" troops had taken NO ACTION against the Ohio troopers and it's is documented that they took their rath out on the BARS AND CATHOUSES that had OVER-CHARGED or REFUSED THEM SERVICE.
The USO was created because many places wouldn't alow solders and sailors in their establishment and it was well known that as late as 1960, there were places that had TWO sets of prices; one for civilians and a higher SET OF PRICES FOR SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN.

"Eventually the soldiers who offer their lives to defend us are going to get the idea they're fighting for countries that don't exist anymore."
That's exactly why I left the military. And quite frankly, at least half of my fellow "citizens" are people I couldn't give a bucket of warm piss for.
