Disrespect towards soldiers.


Alright I saw this movie today and I was horrified at some of the remarks Samuel L. Jackson's son was saying and alot of his actions.

Foremost, his shirt should not have been worn on school property. I can see that it's freedom of speech and all but just take it off the school grounds. I can see why the 'anti-bush' thing would be alright but swearing with shirts?Not appropriate at all.

And I can see why so many people dislike this war. But what he was spouting off was, half informed, stupid anti-war slurs. I would have spanked my son (yes I believe in corporal punishment) and I would've made him remember it.

People can hate every war they want. It's awesome and great. 1st amendment.


BUT if you disrespect and spit upon the soldiers that are fighting in the war, that is one of the most disrespectful actions a person can take upon his country. In my opinion its unpatriotic and further more just plain rude to hate the people who are fighting your war in your place.

Now that I have finished my rant thanks for listening.
