Oh, and I agree with Kim. Kids should see role modeling of what democracy looks like. Otherwise, they won’t know what to do when they grow up. They need to be encouraged to think for themselves and given all the relevant information and not shamed if they disagree with their parents—but they should be able to see, for themselves, what peaceful demonstration looks like, what courage to speak up looks like when people like you give their Mommas and Daddys grief…they need to see that problems can be worked out through civil discourse.

One of the finest things in the world that people do is gather to send out a message. I’m proud that we have parents like Kim in our country who understand how important it is to get the truth out.

What about those kids in the collateral murder video? “Shouldn’t be in a war zone!” Well, they live there.

Our kids here in the U.S. would be horrified to know what happened to those kids. You want to explain it to them?

Or would you like to explain to them why this is allowed to go on and nobody does anything about it?

The person above who said Boycott Hollywood is right. I’m really disappointed that the well-knowns in my town are silent on Manning.

James – this wasn’t a boxing match or dog fight. Lord. All we did was walk around and smile and wave at a few people. You should have come. It was actually quite a nice way to spend the afternoon. Beautiful weather and the moment she was pooped we headed home. My mom carried me on her back with my dad at a protest in DC in the 60s and I have always wished they had taken a photo. So I wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity for Amelia’s baby book. She can make her own mind up on every given topic. Of course if anyone had gotten nutty we would have left post haste. There were about 200 police and another hundred swat in the woods just in case. I have never felt so safe.

Kim, you are the one who brought up the topic of your daughter. Look 2 posts above mine in case you forgot. Bringing a 3 year old to this type of event is completely irresponsible. Will your daughter understand why Manning is going to be in jail for the rest of his life?

Tom – I agree. James, I can tell you don’t have children yet or you wouldn’t have mentioned my 3 year old. You’ll know what I mean when you have little ones of your own who you actually love and know.

Kim, maybe you can tell your 3-year old daughter the values of joining the military and then divulging classified information. I’m she’ll understand.

Well, the BMSN Admin has again deleted my post – so, I guess it would be a little hypocritical of you to complain about the Quantico Admin when you are no better!
