It's very important to note that the Wisconsin State Firefighters Association is not under...um...fire currently, but they know that an attack on ANY union is an attack on EVERY union.

Aside from being very cool, highland pipes signify a call to war. Make no mistake: If your state has a Republican governor, war has been declared.

7. Definitely stirring...I freakin' love bagpipes.

And firefighters showing their support for those who AREN'T exempted from Walker's proposals.

8. Firefighters live to protect you and your stuff.

They take that shit seriously, even when an actual fire isn't involved.

9. I don't care what side of the issue you are one

but that is the type of scene that emboldens the spirit of those standing for a cause. Anyone on either side who might think such a show of support to be trivial are in for rude awakening.
