Tucsonans hit the streets in the name of war Saturday.

Protestors voiced their opinions outside Davis Monthan Air Force Base during the air show Saturday.

In the heat of the moment, things got ugly.

On one street corner, protesters wave American flags and hold up signs in support of our troops.

Directly across, an anti-war group asks for peace, calling the Bush regime a national disaster.

When the anti-war protestors cross the street, demonstrating what they call the American torture of Iraqi prisoners, things turned ugly.

After shoving, pushing, and intense words, police quickly try to get the upper hand.

Officers kept the groups separated for the rest of the protest.

Samuel Lucero's brother, a Marine, was killed in Iraq back in 2004.

"They say they support our troops. They carry those stupid coffins with the fake dead bodies in it, and I just think that's stupid. If they actually support the troops, they should be with us holding a flag, saying thank you for your service."

Others, like Felix Slette, support his view.

"Those people are defending our country. Aside from politics, without any politics at all, they deserve our respect. They've put their lives on the line."

Anti-war demonstrators say they do support American troops.

Chris Dashiell says, "We're not here to protest our fellow citizens across the street. We're here to protest the government's policy on Iraq, and foreign policy in general, which doesn't make me feel any safer."

Lauren Eggert-Crowe says, "The majority of Americans want the troops to come home and the majority of the Iraqi's want the troops out."

After police kept the groups separated, everything ran smoothly.
