Protesters again.
Here I sit, at this conveniently placed stop light waiting to drive onto base. Having to stare at them forces me to wonder to myself what I actually feel about this situation.
Sure, part of me wants to roll down the window and tell them the truth. In a monotone, sardonic voice and using a few strategically placed hand gestures to emphasize that I think their cause is noble but feeble and wearing a blank, irritated facial expression, I would say, "You guys do know that we don't make decisions about the war at this base, right? There's no direct line to the president for the commander to pick up the phone and say that the protesters at the gate have a really good point and we should definitely bring the troops home now."
It doesn't work like that.
