A Gallup Poll taken the day after the shootings reportedly ........

12. I was stationed a Camp Pendleton in SoCal at the time,

and I remember the cheering coming from guys in my platoon, I immediately left my office and read them the riot act for cheering such a breach of civil rights, and pointed out to them the Oath of Enlistment they took upon enlistment.

To this day, I still don't understand how they could cheer the deaths of those students when all they were doing was protesting peacefully, a right guaranteed under the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution.

Needless to say, I wasn't very popular with my Marines, but I wasn't there for a popularity contest, I was there to defend the Constitution and my country.
