I disagree. No one has to respect anything anyone does. That is what makes this country great. I grew up in the military and most every member of my family has served if able. I personally respect every Government Issue out there. However, Those women "dissing" is why people serve. It is their right. Without that right anything any member that wears a uniform does is without cause.

BTW he isn't fighting for "me". I do not have to support the actions of the government. I am not a sheep.

"Be not intimidated...
nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties
by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency.
These, as they are often used, are but three different names
for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice."
John Adams
(1735-1826) Founding Father, 2nd US President

"Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.”
Mark Twain

“It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.”
Voltaire

“A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.”
Edward Abbey quotes

“In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned. When his cause succeeds however,the timid join him, For then it costs nothing to be a Patriot.”
Mark Twain

“A politician will do anything to keep his job - even become a patriot”
William Randolph

“A patriot is he whose public conduct is regulated by one single motive, the love of his country; who, as an agent in parliament, has, for himself, neither hope nor fear, neither kindness nor resentment, but refers every thing to the common interest”
Samuel Johnson

"A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate"
Thomas Jefferson (Rights of British America, 1774)

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure."
Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President

"The laws... which must effect [a people's happiness] must flow from their own habits, their own feelings, and the resources of their own minds. No stranger to these could possibly propose regulations adapted to them. Every people have their own particular habits, ways of thinking, manners, etc., which have grown up with them from their infancy, are become a part of their nature, and to which the regulations which are to make them happy must be accommodated." --Thomas Jefferson to William Lee, 1817

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds”
Samuel Adams quotes (American patriot and Politician of the American Revolution. 1722-1803)
