IVAW marched in the Austin Veteran's Day Parade today! biggrin We got saluted by some, cheered by some, two turned their backs on us and there were other reactions that we didn't know how to interpret.

There was only four of us because people started chickening out. I almost chickened out too. I didn't know if I should wear a riot faceshield to protect from flying produce but I decided that I'd just dodge the tomatoes and if one hit me, I'd just take it.

So the reaction we got (from the crowd) was mostly positive!

It's just the old ballad of the veteran. If you're prowar, the antiwar crowd will spit on you, if you're an antiwar veteran, the prowar crowd will do the same.

There's no winning, even after the wars are over.

I didn't realize it, but McCain's defeat marked the third straight defeat of a Vietnam veteran for the Chief Executive job. Gore and Kerry were both defeated despite having actually served in Vietnam.
