My shirt says "Anti war and proud of it". He's in full Marine uniform. Will he embarrass me?

Ah, you've changed the format of you questions, very clever. Is this the "crying Marine" you so often reference?
What amuses me is that people take you so seriously.

Well, I’m sure I'll get return fire for saying this, but there is a difference between being anti-war and being anti-soldier. I myself am against the war, but I thank God every day for our men and women in uniform. I am proud to be an American. When I was in high school, a veteran came to speak to my class. One of the guys in the back of the auditorium stood halfway through the interview, and shouted "war is wrong!" The veteran politely replied, "Son, what language would you rather be speaking? German or Japanese?" I would have to side with the veteran. We must defend our homeland. My Uncle was a Sniper in Vietnam. When he wanted a day off, he had to kill an enemy soldier, cut out their tongue and bring it to his commanding officer. He is, pretty much anti-war. Things may have changed a bit since then, but we are still in the same kind of war. You can't win a war using clean, political, humane tactics, against a country that plays dirty. I'm thankful to have such selfless people serving our country, but I wish none of them had to die. You should not be embarrassed by him. You should be proud. He is protecting our right to wear those t-shirts and openly speak for what we believe. Of course, that doesn't mean we're always right. But we have the right to be openly objective. Besides, if he's man enough to know his uncle is pretty much anti-military and still makes an effort to associate with him (without concern of embarrassment) who's the bigger man? He didn't choose this war. Our president (and the many people holding his leash) made that decision.

Should you "allow" your Marine nephew to walk along side of you?
I think the better question is, "Would your Marine nephew be willing to be seen with you wearing that t-shirt?"
He's going to look great. It's you that people will hold in low esteem.

The real question should be, Should your marine nephew allow you to walk along side him?

Your Nephew is a HERO, and you get to wear that shirt of yours because of what he does. Sorry dude but you and your attitude are the embarrassment!

Anti war? arent we all anti war? I would say we would all love to go without it but it is impossible. Your Nephew is fighting for yours and mine and all peoples rights and freedom. Your freedom gives you the right to wear that shirt BUT Id rather support all the men and women that have fought and those that have died for your rights. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU MARINES and ALL ARMED FORCES that are fighting for our rights for freedom! Personally, I would NEVER wear a shirt that would embarrass myself...You wearing it means you are embarrasing yourself Not Him embarrassing You! I have the right to say that to you! God Bless you..My advice: think more about your nephew and his comrades and what they are doing for you and the rest of us and re-evaluate your thoughts on that shirt! AGAIN..Thankyou to all the men and women whom make it possible for our rights, freedom and Lives!!!!!!!!

Your PROUD MARINE NEPHEW should not allow you to walk beside him, but he defends your right to be stupid so he probably will allow it. If you are asking these types of questions just to be a horse's behind, then piss off.

You aren't secure enough in your beliefs if that would embarass you. You're around people every day that don't agree with you. If he's okay, then you should be okay, and respect each other's standpoint. Unless he's going to start some kind of bizarre confrontation, screaming like a monkey or something, I just don't get where the embarassment factors in.

I think it's rude to wear such a shirt in the presence of your nephew who is serving. You should show him some respect and support.
