Steve,
While one is a member of the military, protesting against the war you are 
fighting is frowned upon. (suggestions of dishonorable discharge, prison, etc.) I 
also served in Vietnam, came home and protested against the war. We never 
should have been there in the first place, but I did my duty, served my country 
and lived through it. I exercised my constitutional right to protest our 
involvement in Vietnam and so did the majority of the people that went there. Kerry 
is not alone in his beliefs. It was the continued protests that eventually 
ended our involvement. I see a day when protests against our involvement in Iraq 
may accomplish the same thing.
