In Response to the hippie dude giving you a bad time; Send him this.  It's a
modified version of Col. Jessep's speech in A Few Good Men. 


We live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men
with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You weep for the dead, and you curse the
military. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I
know, or suffering what I must suffer as a result. And my existence, while
grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives and provides you the
freedom to openly disagree with your government and those who protect your
rights. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk
about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use
words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a
life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither
the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps
under the blanket of the very freedom that I have provided, and then
questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said
thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon,
and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are
entitled to. And you can thank me and millions of others like me for
providing you the oportunity to openly disagree with what we have done to
provide you such freedoms.
