Liberal students give up all pretense of “supporting the troops”
Wow — that sign pretty well sums up the sad state of affairs at UC Santa Cruz. But what an impressive vocabulary for such a young moonbat. Here’s a few other words she should familiarize herself with, too: dhimmitude, dhimmi, and sharia. Because that same Army that she hates so much is the only* thing standing between her, those terms, and a burka.
*There are also Marines, Airmen, and Sailors standing along side those Soldiers, but still between her and the Islamofascists who want to kill her.

When I enlisted in the US Army, I made the the following oath: “”I, < state your name >, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;”
Each and every Soldier makes the same vow. Including the Soldiers who were attacked and run off the campus of UC Santa Cruz during a job fair:
Military recruiters packed up their displays and left a UC Santa Cruz job fair Tuesday after several protesters attempted to force themselves inside the fair while others blocked the entrance over the course of a tense hour-long standoff.
Citing safety concerns, the four recruiters from the Army and National Guard reversed an earlier decision to remain at the fair in a room separated from other job recruiters and protected by more than a dozen campus police.
These students — some of whom gloated about throwing rocks at the recruiters’ Military SUV and daring them to “return in the fall for the next UCSC Career Fair” — should be considered domestic enemies of the United States Military.
When UW Madison students domestic enemies attacked a recruiting station, I wrote:
he [the Military Recruiter] should be allowed to use any weapon for which he is qualified (9mm pistol, M-16 rifle, M203 grenade launcher, M2 .50 Cal rifle, etc.) to defend his post against these latte-fueled, sense-of entitlement, ungrateful idiots from further attacks on US Military property and personnel.
And I stand by that statement in regards to these ingrates at UCSC — the moment that rock hit the SUV, they should have stopped and engaged the enemy. You might think this extreme — I don’t. We’re at war, and these kids have chosen to become domestic enemies of the US military.
And this has nothing — NOTHING — to do with their First Amendment rights, either. They don’t have the right to attack military personnel. They don’t have the right to destroy and steal military property. They don’t have the right to use their First Amendment rights to squash the same rights of others.

For the record: This is not supporting the troops. This is unpatriotic.

OTHERS:
- Craig Martelle at Strategic Outlook Institute believes that UCSC has violated the Solomon Act.
- Bryan at Junkyard dog defines sedition.
- Chuck at The Right State, another military veteran remarks: “I’m glad its us protecting them, rather than them protecting us!”
No, shit, Chuck. Or we’d all be dhimmis by now.
I’m not supporting these demonstrators but do you really think this is even remotely true?
Because that same Army that she hates so much is the only* thing standing between her, those terms, and a burka
If so, I’d be interested in hearing the scenario in which the US government is replaced by sharia law.
I think the entire point of the demonstrators is that US military action in Iraq is irrelevant if not harmful to US security. That may be a debatable point but to extrapolate that position into an ‘objectively pro-Sharia’ policy (to paraphase Christopher Hitchens…) is utterly absurd.
I suppose you also would have concluded that Abraham Lincoln’s opposition to the Mexican War implied his opposition to defending the Union in 1861?
