We did this for the Vietnam War and now old habits do not die.


An Iraq war veteran said Tuesday he is returning his military medals in what anti-war groups are calling a rare and powerful protest.

Josh Gaines, 27, plans to mail the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal and National Defense Service Medal to former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. He said he would do so during a protest scheduled for today in Madison.

"I'm going to give those back because I truly feel that I did not defend my nation and I did not help with the Global War on Terrorism," said Gaines, who lives in Madison. "If anything, this conflict has bred more terrorism in the Middle East."

I had a post at WEb on this very thing. I have a prob with idiots that say the man is unpatriotic because of what he did. And it is usually those who have never experienced the war that make these types of BS statements.
