If I am ever in MA, I will make a real attempt to spit on his grave
Spit on anyones grave in Arlington Cemetery (which is where
he's going) and I'm sure there will be plenty of people
around that will make sure that you see the error of your
ways.
Guards do not patrol the cemetery. Only the tomb of the unknown
soldier is guarded. There may be people walking around, but not to
enforce appropriate behavior.
I'm well aware of the type of people you find at Arlington
and I wasn't talking about guards. I was talking about all
the living veterans that are there visiting that would not
take too kindly to someone spitting on the grave of a fellow
veteran.

I was not in the military but I have been to Arlington. I'm
not a religious guy but it was probably the closest thing to
a "religious experience" that I've ever had, and if I saw
someone spitting on the grave of a veteran, no matter their
political affiliation, at the very least, there would be
words exchanged.

And yeah, I bet you'd really give those veterans a what for. Right
before you got your ass kicked, that is.

Contemplating the winner of a confrontation before knowing
anything about the combatants is a fools bet. And since
you're betting, I guess we know what that makes you, eh?

Contemplating the winner? Is that like betting horses. Oh, I like the
white one.

Ut oh. Sorry. I forgot who I was talking to.
