I would imagine that just a few....of the following people would be in
disagreement with you in regards to the government helping to bring
back those lost in wars.

They are not protesting the government but they are doing what they do
in rememberance of those that are lost.  They ARE protesting the lack
of help from the U.S. government in taking a stand and asking for
remains and searches for remains to be done.

Most people don't know this fact.  Although the Vietnam government
does NOT have an active embassy in Wa****ngton there IS a Vietnam
"residence" there and they ARE involved with the U.S.   There are a
lot of sticky points and any remains that have been returned have been
without the help of either government "officials".  If officials are
involved they do it behind the scenes as they don't want to lose their
precious standings in wither the house or the senate.

Check these web sites for more information.  I rather doubt that these
guys would agree with you.........

When you go to this rally it is amazing to see all those leather-clad
"bad-ass" bikers that are walking along the wall.  Only to collapse to
their knees and spend a lot of time crying.  Yes I have been to this
rally numerous times.  It is something that has to be seen to be
believed.

This includes Motorcycle Clubs (MC) that are, at any other time of the
year, mortal enemies.  But during this weekend all problems and issues
are put aside.
