We live in a country that allows freedom of speech and I am very grateful for that. If this was some of the other countries around the world we would be shot for speaking out against our government leaders.

I just amazes me that this has turned into the big ordeal that it has. Some times adults act more like children than the kid do. And the prejudice against those that protect our freedoms simply astounds me.

In an open letter on Facebook Ms Scott made this comment:

“This has moved beyond a uniform issue, this had became a personal vendetta between everyone. Mr. Grisham felt as if his Constitutional rights were violated. I ask you the question call me a liberal or tratior to our country if you must, but how many others rights were violated during interogations? How many of them were innocent? I am not ignorant to what goes on during war by any means. I know first hand how they rape and toture their male captives, I’ve seen the physical wounds that many civilians would not believe.”

How does this have anything to do with the school and the issue of uniforms?

As for his criticism of the the Commander in Chief–during Vietnam, I had to leave my politics at home. I guess we have a new Army these days. It’s a measure of how great this country is that a soldier can get away with such criticism. In some countries, the Sgt would be hanged for stating his opinions. Here he has to endure criticism. The truth of the matter is that when military people hold strong contrary opinions, their opinions may affect their careers. If I remember correctly, several Generals lost their jobs when they disagreed with President Bush. We have free speech but we often have to pay a price for using it.
