Five days before Memorial Day

Warning to military service members from the Federal Transit Administration in Washington, D.C.:

"Uniformed members [on Metro trains] have been approached by individuals expressing themselves as anti-government, shouting anti-war sentiments, and using racial slurs against minorities. In one instance, a member was followed onto the platform by an individual who continued to berate her as she exited the metro station…military members should be vigilant and aware of their surroundings at all times while in mass transit."

Disgusting. Be sure to thank the next service member you see, wherever you see them.

UPDATE: This may be a hoax, which is sad, but altogether better than if it were really happening. Read the comments at the link for more.

  1. “military members should be vigilant and aware of their surroundings at all times while in mass transit.”
    What the heck does it means? That a soldier has to crawl under a table or something when accosted by a creep?

    Something tells me the reaction will be otherwise, especially the next time.
