Funny anti-anti-war protesting old lady

I'm all for us getting the hell out of Iraq as soon as they have their next election -- let them screw up their own country by themselves (look how we manage to screw up ours by ourselves) -- but I really enjoyed this story from Erudite Redneck:
There were protesters on the train platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one. An
elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young (20ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined. The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, 'Ma'am, don't you care about the children of Iraq?'
The old woman looked up at her and said, 'Honey, my first husband died in France during World War II, my second husband died in Korea, one of my sons died in Vietnam, a grandson died in Desert Storm, all so you could have the right to stand here and badmouth our country. If you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it.'
