Are you kidding me? We’ve got idiots doing this again? Well, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised, considering all the anti-troop and anti-military folks out there, but come on, people! John Gibson’s “My Word” segment was about this exact story.

According to the Syracuse Post, in what appears to be a police blotter or reader forum:

A Syracuse woman was charged after a Fort Drum soldier accused her of spitting on him without provocation at Hancock International Airport, Syracuse police said. Lauren Maggi, 35, of 256 Thurber St., was charged with second-degree harassment after the Nov. 22 incident, according to a police report.

Jason Jones, 21, told police a woman he did not know walked up to him near the United Airlines ticket counter, asked him if he was a Fort Drum solider and, when he responded that he was, spat in his face.

A second soldier on the scene supported Jonesâ€™ accusation, police said. Maggi offered no explanation for her conduct, police said. She could not be reached for comment tonight.

I agree with Gibson; this woman needs to get the maximum punishment under the law. If I’d have been there, I’d have slapped her and gladly gone to jail for it, if I had to.
