Kerry was treating running mate Sen. John Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, to a Wendy's lunch in Newburgh, N.Y., for their 27th wedding anniversary — an Edwards family tradition — when the candidate approached four Marines and asked them questions.
The Marines — two in uniform and two off-duty — were polite but curt while chatting with Kerry, answering most of his questions with a "yes, sir" or "no, sir."
But they turned downright nasty after the Massachusetts senator thanked them "for their service" and left.
"He imposed on us and I disagree with him coming over here shaking our hands," one Marine said, adding, "I'm 100 percent against ."
A sergeant with 10 years of service under his belt said, "I speak for all of us. We think that we are doing the right thing in Iraq," before saying he is to be deployed there in a few weeks and is "eager" to go and serve.
The Marines — all of whom serve at nearby Stewart Air Force Base — wouldn't give their names.

Ok that is your version of normal, but that is not others version of normal. Just because your version is your version, doesnt make it the right version. Why dont you find out what Bill Gates think normal is? Why not ask Charlie Manson what his version of normal is?
You can not honestly beleive that what you think is the absolute right for everyone? Things like normal, love, free, happiness, etc. are never absolute and they mean differently for everyone.
Customers I have had: Axl Rose we went up to one of his places in Wisconsin for the weekend awesome, 2 member of New Kids on the Block (for those of you who remember it was at our bar they got arrested at),Enuf Z'Nuff (sp?), Nick Nolte, ohhhhhhhh I remember the nite some of the Orioles came in the bar after a Sox game(not a pretty site!) But I always was well tipped by them, but I deserved it!
Normal folks don't go ballistic over someone else's lifestyle
My guess is you're unhappy with the quality :-o
Also read an interesting article written by the editor for the Army Times, Navy Times, etc, that said basically, don't be surprised if during this election the military votes much like it did during the height of the Vietnam war. He wouldn't release their poll numbers, but gave the idea that Kerry would be getting their vote, just that nobody could admit it.
And yet another article where the Navy officers in Florida were taking enlistees to register and making it more than clear they were expected to register as Republicans. So perhaps, the Navy remains more Red than the rest.
All speculation until November 2nd.
