Subject: SLS: SNET: NAVY PUBLIC AFFAIRS CALLED ME "CRACKPOT" AND HANGS
  UP!

<snip>
>
>This afternoon I heard a report that the John Paul Jones missile frigate
>in San Diego flew the Red Chinese Naval flag.  If this was not bad
>enough, the reason it was flown, and our flag removed, was that it is
>traditional protocol when a foreign warship is in our harbor, we will
>fly their flag on our masts to "HONOR" them.  Imagine my anger an
>disgust as a veteran, to have a country that kills their young, eats
>their fetuses, disallows freedom of any sort - religion, pursuit of
>liberty, and in general, against every tenet of our Constitution - and
>this is a country of honor, I ask?
>
>Having said the above, I took it upon myself as a veteran, and a US
>citizen, to call the Command and voice my extreme disapproval to the
>Office of Public Affairs, and to pass my feelings on to the highest
>levels of the Navy.  I was met with the old "we were only following
>orders".  Haven't we heard that somewhere before?  I spoke to the Deputy
>Command Officer of Public Affairs.  Unfortunately, I will have to get
>her exact rank and name Monday morning.  But, the reason I am writing
>tonight is that I ask all who read this to stand with me and never allow
>an officer of our military to simply call any one of us a "crackpot" and
>hang the phone up.  If this is what we allow in the military, the time
>will come when we will not be called crackpots - but we will be silenced
>by our own forces - Remember...they will raise the flag of a country
>that kills their own.  What could that country possibly have in store
>for us.  I reiterate, they will then call us crackpots and hang up on 
>us.  
>
>If you are disturbed you will also call and demand that we not honor the
>Chinese flag.
>
>The number I called was (619)532-1430.  Also - the Department of Defense
>Public Affairs office at (703)-695-0192.  I'm sorry this is a toll call
>for most of you.  Please distribute this post freely and as widely as
>possible.  You can call your Congressmen and Senators and let them know
>what happened to me, and that you will not let it happen to you.
>
>The woman officer who hung up on me said the orders came from the State
>Department, the President and the Chief Naval Officer.  
>
>What is happening to our wonderful United States of America.
