Hmmm for some reason the video is freezing on my machine twice, and I look at all kinds of videos on YouTube. In any case I've seen many of this type so I can imagine what is taking place.
Soldiers fighting and some dying, sadly (for lack of better word) it has always been and I suspect always will. Just a fact of life, as is the fact that there will probably always be wacko's of some sort showing disrespect. Whether it be at the airport when Viet Nam soldiers returned to California, or today's Westboro followers.
As far as the Patriot Guard, yes they serve a very good purpose not only to recent KIAs but also to old Vets passing thru their last part of the journey here on earth. I have seen first hand all that the PGR does, which includes (but not limited to) flaglines of respect and ceremony, welcoming home to injured Vets, escorting funeral processions (some with and some without police assistance) and just being there whenever called.
Sometimes when it's your turn to secure an intersection and you pull out of formation and sit there with your hand up watching the oncoming traffic, you wonder how they will react since you are not a policeman with no flashing lite etc. But as soon as they see the flag on the back of your bike they sometimes will flash their lights back at you signifying a salute to the fallen one. It makes you feel like they are also there with you in spirit for the soldiers funeral. Yep most folks still love a Vet, it's only a small number of wackos.
And when you think about the all the communications (mostly done thru email) coordinations etc etc going down with such a huge nationwide organization it amazing to me how they pull it off so well over and over again. And all upaid volunteer effort, time, flags and gas.
As the Army says Hooah, and as the Marines say Hoorah to the PGR standing behind those that answer and have answered the call.
The war is never over, we each must choose the bullets we will use for each battle.
