Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington
Ya, that part I agree with you... it is shameful to use this situation for political gain. (There is a chance that they did simply want to support that cause, but odds of that are slim)
What really disgusted me was the likes of Rachel Maddow who went and said that these veterens attacked the riot cops at the whitehouse, using edited video, where the full clip showed that the cop pushed the vet and the 70+ year old vet shoved the cop right back... and wow, the look of fear in those cops eyes at the prospect of being pushed back... goes to show the level of cowardice of some of these cops now.
I think it's shameful for any politician to try and use veterans as political pawns. There is no politician that speaks for me as a veteran.
