Larry Bailey, a retired Navy captain, said he drove from North Carolina to challenge the anti-war protesters.

"We let them have a pass in the 1960s," Bailey said. "We will defend our military and our military's honor as long as we can."

Chris Hill, an organizer for a pro-war group called the Gathering of Eagles, said he doesn't object to people opposing the war.

"Our beef is when they say they support the troops and show up and disrupt the graduation ceremony of one of the service academies," he said. "If they want to protest the president, he lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. It's thinly veiled anti-Americanism. They don't support the troops."

2. "Let them have a pass"?? Kent State? Police Riot of Chicago, '68?

Illegal D.C. mass arrests?

3. A pass? Really?

Tell that to the 4 dead in Ohio. Oh, never mind - that was in the 1970's.

4. Has Mr. Bailey gone over to Walter Reed to check out the damage done by an unjust war?
