If cities or schools do stuff like this, they should be denied federal funding. They are willing to reap the benefits of freedom the military provides such as tax dollars in their budgets but then show a complete disdain for the military.

Well there may not be damages but they are obviously not being treated equally and you could even make the case that they are harrassing a legal entity. Living in Nazifornia I can tell you that in the San Francisco area, of which Berkely is a part, the have a complete hatred for the military and anything traditional. It is worse than Sodom and Gamorah in many parts. When I was a kid we used to go on vacation and visit the area. I won't go there anymore because it really has gotten nasty. One of the few bright spots in the Temple on the Hill overlooking the Bay. The rest of it can fall into the sea for all I care.

The USMC should practive thier rifle drill in front of the Code Pink offices...

Rereading the article, in this case it doesn't seem they are protesting the military, but rather a policy of the military which they view as discriminatory. If there is a policy of the military that I think is completely insane (weight limit for 6'4" men at 237 lbs, for example), I would not be anti-American or anti-"support the troops" to protest it and attempt to get it changed.

Ignoring possible injustices is also anti-American, even if the "offender" is the Military establishment. There is always room for improvement.

"Don't ask, don't tell" is a compromise solution. It's fairness doesn't really hold up under much scrutiny either way. Should gay men have to hide their orientation? Should they be discriminated against? No. Should straight men have to feel sexually harassed from their fellow soldiers? Absolutely not. These are two "rights" that cannot fit together in their fulness. Thus Solomon's compromise of "don't ask, don't tell".
