I remember hearing about this when all of this began. What exactly were they protesting? Were they pro gay or anti gay? What does being gay have to do with military. Sorry I've just never quite followed what exactly was going on. And 1st Amendment protects you from being locked up for saying things not from just being a douche to people in sensitive times and places... if that were the case no liable or slander case would ever hold water. (I may be wrong on that I am not even pretending to be anywhere close to a lawyer).
