[QUOTE="Adhdferret, post: 4068808, member: 48008"] No, America didn't change, we didn't either. When I came back home after my first patrol on the USS Michigan blue crew, I went to Francis Tuttle to visit with the teachers who got me there. As I was visiting, I had a student throw a flag down and stomp on it in front of me (was wearing my dress whites). The teacher with me I had to stop, I said this uniform says I am protecting his freedoms, same as yours. Let him do it, and stood back. Wouldn't you know he walked away, and as I have learned from my dad that when you confront people on bad behavior, often times they stop it. You sharing your story said I can be more observant to things like this, and I will. I assure you I would have stopped and done as you did. But that is US, and our values are not the same as others, meaning if you just do what you did, and say at least someone will, and that is enough. [/QUOTE]
