Let the Eagles Soar
The ballyhooed "Gathering of Eagles" happened this weekend: a "pro-troops" rally in the morning followed by pro-war "Eagles" fanning out along Pennsylvania Avenue to heckle thousands of anti-war protesters. Here's eight minutes of video from the right side of the march.
It's mostly just yelling and cursing and finger-pointing, but there's a poignant bit about 90 seconds in when an old Korea vet, who's marching against the Iraq War, asks a college Republican what her sign means by "Let the Troops Finish the Mission." She hides behind the sign and calls him a dumbass while a frattier CR yells past them to some anti-war marchers "Move to Canada!" The vet can't get a serious answer and walks away. Also, check out the dude at 3 minutes and 45 seconds in.
