According to the Detroit News (found on Michelle Malkin) the UAW didn't want Marine Reservists parking in their parking lot, next door to the reserve center, if they drove foreign cars or had pro-Bush stickers on them. The active component commander decided that no Marines would park there, even after the President of the UAW (a former Marine) reversed the decision. I'm glad the Marines stick to their guns.
The UAW wants to play politics with a group of volunteers who have, or probably soon will be in the Iraq combat zone. The leftists running that particular segment of the UAW mistakenly want to make some political point with a group of folks who, at best, give up time with their families, get a lot of heat on the job for being "military" and, at worst, get to vacation for a year in Iraq. I know some UAW folks and they are not like the leadership. Maybe it's about time they look for leadership that respects the values of the membership.
The bit about "foreign cars" is a political point made by those who believe that the public can't read the stickers on their cars. My Chevy Impala (the quintessential American car) is a foreign car. It's made in Canada. The Toyota Camry was made in the US. My Isuzu was made in Indiana. So, tell me what makes a car foreign.
Double cannister to the UAW. Semper Fi, Marines.
