Spitting on Soldiers?

H/T to 'Old Fart' in our OWD forum

I don't recollect if one of these incidents has ever been raised to this level before. And normally links, as cited by OF, in many colors and lots of bold face are off-putting.

In this case a short Google excursion supports the info. The Jawa Report has noted the case.

As one who was spit at, not on, I feel it may be time to do something about this, 'old fart' offers some ideas.
