New Hampshire is still part of the US, right?

At Merrimack Valley High, the yearbook policy prohibits photos like the one Jordan Westgate submitted. He's wearing his army combat hat, and he's standing in front of the American flag. What's the problem? asks Jordan, a senior who completed the Army's basic training last summer.

He's showing no disrespect. No disrespect at all. No hats and no props? Well, okay, for the most part. But shouldn't exceptions be made, especially these days, when we're fighting two wars simultaneously?

In fact Westgate, who will become a full-time soldier after graduation, believes he's showing more respect than anyone else in his class.
...

It certainly didn't help when, anticipating a fight and searching for ammunition, they found a picture of a Muslim girl who covered her head with a traditional scarf in the 2007 yearbook's junior class section.

"We feel we're being discriminated against for being in the military, She had to wear something as part of her religion. What's the difference?"

I agree Leaf. Those assholes need to redefine their rules and allow military personnel to wear uniforms which are standard issue. When he graduated from boot camp thats the way he looked. We didnt scrutinize about it then! Pisses me off.

Panda my friend, you need to sound off on this one friend.

It's a sad day when there are Americans that are quicker to protect the rights of others when we are not preserving our own.
