Supporters of Iraq War Plan to Counter Anti-War Rally With Demonstrations of Their Own
I hope the Army and the Marines are going to have a lot of recruitment booths set up at today's "Counter Anti-War Rally"! What better place to find volunteers for a war than at 'pro-war' rally?
...Boy, I'll tell you, if you want see a whole bunch of guys start limping around and talking about old football injuries, have a military recruiter show up at a rally of Republicans!
"Military families and other defenders of the war in Iraq were claiming their turn to demonstrate, responding to a huge war protest with a rally of their own on the National Mall.
Organizers hoped to draw several thousand people to their noontime event near the National Air and Space Museum. They acknowledged the rally would be much smaller than Saturday's anti-war protest in Washington but said their message would not be overshadowed.
"People have been fired up over the past month, especially military family members, and they want to be heard," said Kristinn Taylor, a leader of FreeRepublic.com, one of the sponsors of Sunday's event.
The pro-military rally was billed by organizers as a time to honor the troops fighting "the war on terrorism in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world."
