No gutless wonder
Jim Campbell had a letter published in the Feb 19 edition of the Observer-Reporter, referring to people who are protesting against Donald Trump’s presidency as idiots, gutless wonders, and brain dead. He also noted that he is a retired Marine.
I am one of those protesters, and I can assure you that I am neither brain dead nor an idiot. I know hundreds of these protesters, and none are brain dead or idiotic. I too am a former Marine, with 20 years of service and two combat tours in Vietnam. I would not describe myself as a gutless wonder.
Protest in the United States is as American as apple pie. Campbell has every right to declare his opposition to the protests against the president, but has no right to disparage the character of the protesters.
