In this photo, two marines hold a cardboard sign reading “2nd time I’ve fought for my country. 1st time I’ve known my enemy,” with an accompanying peace symbol.
In this photo, two marines hold a cardboard sign that encapsulates a great deal about the wayward capitalism that America and, indeed, the world is experiencing. “2nd time I’ve fought for my country. 1st time I’ve known my enemy.”
There is no other way to distill the meaning of this phrase into a purer form—one either gets it or one doesn’t.
What do you think?

If you knew anything at all about military service, you’d know there’s little difference.
They went out there to make a statement of protest, not show off their pretty Dress Blues uniform.
And ALSO if you knew anything about military service, you’re realize that since it’s COLD in NYC right now, BDUs are more appropriate for the situation and can be worn with more respect for their own uniform and the service that earned the right to wear it.

Whats your experience Diane? BDU’s haven’t been worn in years.

This is wonderful. Thanks for it. And these patriots had ZERO to do with Van Jones, who tried to cash in on the Marines joining Occupy Wall St. These Marines are the real deal.

I’m thrilled they’re there. There are a lot more veterans than standing forces, I’m hoping others will follow their lead and join up.

Diane you don’t have a freaking clue…… Your “American Fall”, you and your friends remember this… 22
million veterans and 2 million armed forces took an oath to defend the
Constitution. Bring it On..
Regarding those two pictured above… BDU haven’t been worn in years, nor that webbing and head gear. Sign states “Fought” i.e. Combat Veteran..? Maybe Stolen Valor Act….

I must show some thanks to this writer for rescuing me from this trouble. Because of surfing through the world-wide-web and coming across proposals that were not helpful, I assumed my entire life was over. Existing devoid of the strategies to the problems you have solved as a result of this report is a critical case, and those that would have negatively damaged my entire career if I had not encountered your web site. That mastery and kindness in dealing with every aspect was important. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come upon such a solution like this. I’m able to at this time relish my future. Thanks very much for this professional and result oriented help. I won’t think twice to recommend the blog to any individual who will need guide about this issue.
