Where Eagles dare, pacifists doctor and dupe

The Eagles are famous in Canada. Here is a writer that gets it.
I wanted to print the whole thing.

Some excerpts:

As we all know by now, the ragtag, loose knit and lovable vets called The Gathering of Eagles changed history in Washington D.C. on March 17. Traveling in great numbers from far distances, they outnumbered ANSWER three to one--but a fawning mainstream media failed to report the facts, as usual taking the side of ANSWER.

The activists screaming chants in communist-paid anti-war protests are, in effect trying to leave the impression that America by nature is an insipid pacifist nation.
That just won't wash.
Americans literally became Americans by fighting for their freedom. They never waited for England to grant them their self-determination. They got out and fought to be what they wanted.
Aside from their Communist and labor union organizers, the anti-war movement is made up of young men who don't want to go to war to defend their country. The Jane Fondas, Alec Baldwins and Sean Penns are only the protest props.

Vets from all of the wars America ever fought, including the cruel Vietnam one, would be there to do the same thing to the enemy as they did to the enemy's running dogs on March 17, 2007. The vets, some still bearing painful wounds, would stare them down with a determined, unwavering, steely-eyed stare.
They are Americans. They back down from no one.
