CAMP COYOTE, Kuwait ---- Some of the Marines kicked the dirt, turned away or cursed the "damned liberals" on hearing news of global anti-war demonstrations.

"When I was in boot, that was my worst nightmare," said Jared Hubbard, a 20-year old lance corporal from Fresno and a member of the Camp Pendleton-based 5th Marine Regiment. "Going to war and coming home to a country that doesn't want you. God."

Other Marines who've been camped out here seemed disinterested in the rights or wrongs of a war with Iraq and said they were not bothered by world opinion and just want to get "it" over with.
