Debriefing: Operation Military Shield October 31, 2004 -- Operation Military Shield was smashing success! Last Wednesday, The South Florida ProtestWarriors had the opportunity to shie ld the Defenders of Freedom from those who would destroy America! The Broward County Anti-War Coalition had an Anti-War Demonstration at th e Broward County Military Recruiting Facility in Lauderhill. Located in a strip mall on SR 441, it is home to the Recruiting offices for the Arm y, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Their obvious goal to intimidate and den igrate our Military and our Country is evidenced by their own statement: Join members of the Broward Anti-War Coalition and other peace activists in exposing the lies of Pentagon recruiters trying get working class a nd youth of color to become cannon fodder for their imperialist wars. S o many working class youth are unable to find decent jobs and face a fu ture looking increasingly bleak. Yet all the government seems to offer is the prospect of coming home maimed, permanently scarred or in a body bag--all for a war that only benefits Big Oil. These people obvious needed some re-education, and they were not going to bring such a hate-filled message to South Florida! South Florida Protest Warriors from the Miami Chapter, the Pompano Chapter, t he Cooper City Chapter and the Naples Chapter participated in this Opera tion. Our first step was to alert the Military to the impending threat and we d id so. During the week prior to Operation Military Shield, there were se veral conversations between the ProtestWarriors and the Military, as the Military contemplated how to address the demonstration. We arrived well before the loony left and although they intended to arriv e at 5:00, they were late. Around 5:15, just as we were getting antsy, w e noticed a car load of them driving by. Soon it became obvious that the y were a bit intimidated by our presence. So, we broke ranks and retreat ed for a bit, leaving a scout to report on their activity. Sure enough, shortly after we disappeared, the left came out and positioned themselve s on the sidewalk.
C ode Pink, Gael Murphy, who, after giving aid and comfort to the terroris ts in Iraq, has returned the United States of America to target our Mili tary here in South Florida.
Murphy is best known for disrupting the RNC during Vice President Dick Ch eney's speech as well as other anti-American and terrorist sympathizing activities. A seasoned protester, Gael employed many classic leftist tac tics, such as shouting out that we were violating her right to free spee ch by exercising our own right to free speech. It did not take long befo re Gael resorted to the leftist tactic of physical intimidation.
However, the South Florida Protest Warriors held our ground and gave no q uarter. Frustrated at our persistence, the left ran from us, up and down the block, and across the street, to no avail. Our members made many attempts at logic and reason to clarify the realit y of the situation in this Country and in Iraq, also to no avail. Inst ead of lively debate, we were called names and cursed at, one leftist to ld one of the female warriors to "Shut the fuck up, bitch" over and over again.
Although we tipped the local news and radio, one lone reporter appeared f rom CBS. Since he made an immediate beeline for Murphy, we made the obvi ous assumption that he was here for the left, not the right. We answered his questions in a calm and collected manner, and so, none o f the footage was used by CBS. After a while, the left appeared to poop out and packed up their toys. We were sorry to see them go and hung around for a while, chatting with th e military and amongst ourselves.
This is yet another amazing show of hypocrisy as one of the left papered the parking lot SUVs with "Oil Consumption Violations" that they brought along in their gas hog. Another typical leftist tactic: "do as I say, n ot as I do." There was no logical or reasonable argument made by any one of the left a nd in fact, this anti-American protester became very agitated and insist ent that 9/11 was a "tragedy" and not an act of war.
We did receive support from passers-by on SR 441, there were plenty of ho nking horns and shouts of encouragement. We had a "man in the street" mo ment that was truly awesome as a passerby pulled over, and joined us for a moment, expressing his support of the troops and our President, as we ll as his outrage at the left for their treatment of the troops and this country!
The South Florida ProtestWarriors sent a powerful message to the Anti-War Coalition that we will be on hand to counter their hate and negativity directed at our United States of America and the United States Military, at all times, in all places. OPERATION: Military Shield MISSION STATUS: Smashing Success! END DEBRIEFING UPDATE from LindaSOG, Miami Chapter leader: Tom, a representative from the United States Army took me to lunch to say thank you for Operation Military Shield. He said that they were very im pressed with us since we knew before they did that it was going to happe n He told me they wondered at the fact that someone like Gael Murphy would show up for such a piddly little protest, especially since there has bee n a recent rash of vandalism of recruiting offices, trashing of records and computers and other petty violence. Thus far, it has been random and always in the evenings, after hours. Tom asked that I keep them informed if I hear of any recruiting offices o r other military facilities being targeted. I assured him that I would, and that ProtestWarrior as a whole, was behind the military 100%. The guys in the office told him about w hat we did, and how we kept the left from harassing them inside of the o ffices. A couple of the troops from the recruiting office have already joined PW and they all want to go on operations! We made some very good friends du ring Operation Military Shield.
