How do you know this is not a set up photo? Perhaps people stood as the marchers got closer.
What is patriotism anyway? Last I checked this was america and americans have the right to express themselves as they choose. If your right about what you see in that photo, then I don't see anyone criticising or looking at him in judgement. What I do see a lot of, is judgements and criticisms coming from people of think everyone should think as they do.
BTW, bigdave, your close to the age of serving, aren't you? What branch of the military are you going to sign up for?
