What is the big fucking deal?

I think you folks that are so upset about this need to get a freaking life. Just stop and think about all the really serious crap that is going on in this country and this doesn't even make a blip on the meter. After 26 years in the military including Vietnam and desert storm this wouldn't even make my top 1000 incidents of bad behavior. Give it a break already and worry about things that really matter.

I usually agree and when I don't I can understand your position.

But this time I don't agree and can't understand your position.

This is so disrespectful that it makes my head spin. Yes there is other things of "Greater" importance, more earth shattering going on in the world, but that doesn't give reason not to take issue with this action and insist that steps are taken that others don't do it in the future.

As I said earlier, I hold those in Uniform to a higher standard than I do those who don't wear it. If this had been just some punk street rappers, I shake my head and move on. But this is a woman in uniform. That is a huge difference.
