1:34:02
I have known to be a conservative democrat.
1:34:05
Yeah, yeah.
1:34:05
That's what you'd consider yourself now.
1:34:07
Yeah.
1:34:08
It's a great country.
1:34:09
It's a great country. It's a great country.
1:34:11
The cross that I choose to wear,
1:34:13
you'll notice that it's a multicultural--
1:34:15
multicoloured cross.
1:34:16
That's because I believe
1:34:17
that all God's people come in many colours.
1:34:20
And my family itself is multicultural.
1:34:22
You have a daughter that went into the military?
1:34:25
Into the military.
1:34:26
Then your firstborn son in the military?
1:34:28
Thats quite a gift to the country,
1:34:32
you know, from your family.
1:34:33
That's exactly right.
1:34:34
So having a son in the Army.. pretty proud thing.
1:34:37
Oh, you know what? He made it.
1:34:40
What was your reaction to the protesters
1:34:43
to say the Gulf war or Vietnam..
1:34:45
I always hated the protesters.
1:34:47
I always hated the protesters.
1:34:49
It was just a slap in my face.
1:34:51
It was just like they were dishonouring my son.
1:34:55
And I burned in my soul to tell them
1:34:58
you don't understand.
1:35:00
They're not there because they want to be there.
1:35:01
But then I came to understand
1:35:03
that they weren't protesting the men
1:35:05
and women that were there,
1:35:06
they were protesting the concept of the war.
1:35:10
I know I'm a soldier and I'm here to do a job.
1:35:13
I've been a soldier for a while..
1:35:17
Once you have to go and do your job
1:35:21
and you see the things that you see..
1:35:25
I'm saying there's some disillusionment in that.
1:35:28
Battalion Commander fully expects us
1:35:30
to be attacked in some type of way.
1:35:35
Before we get to.
1:35:38
So far it's been pretty calm, not much has happened,
1:35:43
but be aware that they can and they probably will.
1:35:52
They're beginning to organize themselves
1:35:54
just in neighbourhoods.
1:35:55
The kids get together a lot-- well,
1:35:57
I can't say Kids but-- guys about 17-18.
