After the much ballyhooed Key an SUV thread, I thought readers would be interested in the following story.
War veteran accused of defacing pro-Bush cars

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- The Air Force Reserve plans to discharge a lieutenant colonel accused of defacing cars that had pro-Bush bumper stickers, the military said Friday.

Lt. Col. Alexis Fecteau, a pilot with 500 combat hours in the first Persian Gulf war and the Balkans, is charged with criminal mischief for allegedly using paint stripper to write a profanity about President Bush in 18-inch-high letters on cars at Denver International Airport.

The cars had bumper stickers supporting President Bush and conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh.

Jim Miller, a spokesman for the Air Force Reserve Command at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, said the command plans to begin the process of giving Fecteau an administrative discharge. He said Fecteau does not face any military punishment.

Rebellion is fun up to the point where it involves multiple felony charges.

Ha ha. Sorry this wasn't me. I have a family to take care of now. :)

I wonder what the back story to this gentleman is that we're not hearing. He obviously has been under some sort of pressure (guilt from the war, oppressed left-wing ideology, marital problems) and chose an extreme way of expressing his feelings. Maybe I'll do some digging...
