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 I feel the same way. But, Arlington is seldom crowded, and there
are many times when no one is around or is watching.

If I saw someone spitting on the grave of a fellow veteran, I'd react
like you would.

So if there not a veteran, it's fair game?

Well, sort of. Right after he was expelled from Harvard for cheating, he
enlisted for four years, then got the old man to get his hitch shortened to
two. While most Army recruits were headed to Korea and other hot spots,
Kennedy went to France. After two years service, he was still a Private.

Give the guy credit for whatever amount of time he was willing to spend
serving his country. I heard on one of the news wires it was more like
16 months.

OMIGAWD, I'd rather spend four years in country with the LURPs in Nam than
do sixteen months in France. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Kennedy spent 47 years serving his country in the U.S. Senate. You left
that Carolina PD after a few years. And your departure was "sudden."

Kennedy should have spent 39 years serving time in the Mass. State Pen.

Amen to serving time. As usual, Harry attacks the messengers while ignoring
the corrupt lberaltards' misdeeds.

Ted Kennedy spent 47 years serving himself at a public trough.
