Somewhere in San Marcos, there is a teenager (or two) who need some serious discipline.

Sometime overnight, someone used yellow spray paint to write "Kill Bush" on a section of the memorial where names of local veterans are displayed on a sloping wall. The same slogan, along with others, was repeated on the back of the memorial.

"It's very disgusting," said Robert Guerrero, who served in Germany during the Vietnam era. "I have a lot of friends right there who gave their lives for this country," he added, pointing to the portion of the monument where the names of soldiers killed in action - which wasn't vandalized - are displayed. "It's just disgusting."

Comments of some others who stopped by the memorial Saturday morning are unfit for publishing in a family newspaper.

I honestly hope they keep trying stunts like this, because once they are caught in the act, it is not going to be pretty. Depending on who catches them, it might just turn out quite ugly.

Besides, I don't anticipate any political hay from this method of campaigning.
