FORT PAYNE — ... Kelley, who said he’s a Vietnam-era veteran, said he supports American troops “100 percent” but said he and others were watching a news broadcast about Iraq during a gathering at his home ...

“We started discussing the issue. I know it’s a touchy subject, but I’ve often thought patriots in this country should challenge (President) Bush on the issue,” Kelley said.

Ultimately, he said he decided to streak while marching down the highway in nothing but a hat and cowboy boots, while carrying the flag with him ...

He said his only regret is that, on the day he chose to streak, there was a church event going on at a nearby park ...

I wonder if his address is listed?

4. I think it's classic civil disobedience --- from a veteran

An ideal response, of course, would be ten thousand naked war protesters showing up outside the courthouse for his trial ...

6. He deserves a medal...

How can we possibly comment on his patriotism or activism without a pic?

18. Well, not to insult those peace patriots,

17. OUCH!

Naked AND on all those rocks?

My skin's too tender for that!

I would do it on grass (and I mean the green, grown on your lawn kind) though.

:evilgrin:

3. Trust me on this one

If I were to get NAKED to protest the War in Iraq, the DoD WOULD BRING THE TROOPS HOME immediately so I could put my clothes back on. :rofl:

[struggle4progress]

5. Me too.

:D

[man4allcats]

7. You and me both.

Maybe that's the answer. Those of us with "the right physical characteristics" should just strip. Personally I'd hate to do it, but if it freaked'em out enough to end this nonsense I suppose I could consider it my patriotic duty! :patriot:
