Can we question their patriotism now?
Recently, there have been local incidents in which military personnel have been verbally assaulted while commuting on the Metro. Uniformed members have been approached by individuals expressing themselves as anti-government, shouting anti-war sentiments, and using racial slurs against minorities.
In one instance, a member was followed onto the platform by an individual who continued to berate her as she exited the metro station. Thus far, these incidents have occurred in the vicinity of the Reagan National Airport and Eisenhower Ave metro stations on the yellow line, however, military members should be vigilant and aware of their surroundings at all times while in mass transit.
Should you be approached by any individuals expressing anti-government/anti-war sentiments, or any other types of direct verbal assault, immediately notify your local police jurisdiction. If riding metro, exit the train at the next stop, distance yourself from the individual, and notify the Metro Transit Police Department.
For this and any other suspicious activity, NGB personnel are also asked to notify the Pentagon Command Center at (703)697-1001, and the NGB Antiterrorism/Force Protection Officer, MSgt Cyril Charity, at (703)607-2396 or (571)239-1109 (after duty hours).
You know, this doesn’t have to happen. There’s no way there weren’t any innocent bystanders when this stuff was happening, and if they didn’t speak up, shame on them.
If you see this kind of thing happening, speak up. These scumbags ought not to feel free to behave this way in public without becoming pariahs.

The problem would not be standing still if that happened in front of me–the problem would be being able to quit.

Sounds to me like some idiots are cruisin’ for a bruisin’. They’re one finger on a Marine’s shoulder away from a USMC world of hurt.
