BANGOR, Wash. ? Five anti-war demonstrators were arrested after cutting through a security fence at the nuclear missile storage facility for Trident submarines at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor.

The Kitsap Sun reports they carried a banner that said, ?Disarm Now Plowshares: Trident: Illegal and Immoral.?

Navy spokesman Chris Haley says an alarm went off when the group entered at 6:30 a.m. Monday, and they were arrested on suspicion of trespass and destruction of government property, cited and released.

The five are identified as 81-year-old Catholic priest Bill Bischel of Tacoma, 83-year-old nun Anne Montgomery of New York City, 65-year-old Susan Crane of Baltimore, 60-year-old Lynne Greenwald of Bremerton and 60-year-old Steve Kelly of Oakland, Calif.

Apparently the priest and the nun forgot another famous Bible passage: he who does not own a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
 
When is that generation ever going to realize the 60s are over?

When we throw dirt on them for the last time.

And that's sad in a way, because Vietnam veterans like my father belong to this generation. 
 
I remember when Clinton was pulling some of his gaffes, and my dad telling me "I'm sorry we screwed it up this bad, son.  Maybe your generation will do better."
 
I'm proud of my generation fighting the good fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, but then I remember that we elected Obama, too.
