I was in the Bernhard Center (never sure if I spell that right) today having some lunch when some guy came up to me with his girlfriend and felt a need to tell me how happy he was about our success in the war. I'm not sure why I get these people coming up to me, other than the fact that I'm a regular columnist for the Herald, but he obviously felt he recognized me so he came over and started his rant. Well, at the end of it, he asked my opinion, and I indicated that regardless of the "success" of the operation, I'm still not very happy about the war. He then proceeded to question my loyalties to this country and indicated that perhaps I wasn't a "real" American.

Now, I took a look at both of these people, and I'm sure neither was older that 22-23, which indicated that neither of them has ever served in the military before, so I indicated that my experience in being a "real" American includes 4 separate conflicts. Could they say the same? The response I got indicated that perhaps people don't really think about what they're saying.

So much for an interesting lunch.

Stumble It!
