Things got contentious at the end of the less-than-hourlong demonstration when some at the rally confronted a group calling itself Vietnam Veterans for Peace.
"Go home and eat your wine and cheese, you sissies," William G. Rice, 40, yelled at the group of about 20 people as they walked away. "Cowards."
Rice, a laborer, said that although he had no military experience, he thought he understood the political situation better than the veterans.
"I seem to have a better understanding of the price of freedom than they do," he said.
Indeed.
