Vietnam Era Déjà vu as College Imbeciles Spit on Vets
Coach is Right ^ | April 25, 2015 | Jim Emerson, staff writer

Twice a year Panama City Beach hosts Warrior Beach Retreat were wounded Warriors for an all-expense-paid vacation. Local businesses cover the expenses of more than a 100 combat-wounded warriors and their spouses or caregivers. During this the time the local community honors the vets to the beach for a time of relaxation and appreciation. Unfortunately, this event during Spring break, young punks from the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity had a Vietnam era liberal flashback and started insulting and spitting on wounded American vets.

Warrior Beach Retreat was founded by Linda and Philip Cope in 2009 when their son Joshua lost his legs and damaged his hands in Iraq after an IED explosion. The retreat is an eight day event during which local businesses and the community support the organization by providing a free vacation for the wounded heroes. There is a two year waiting list for the retreat. Linda Cope remembers how Vietnam veterans were treated upon their return home and her goal is to remind Americans what vets have done for this country.

Genius Zeta Beta Tau fraternity members from the University of Florida and Emory University, too young to remember 9-11, proceeded to taunt the solders, insult their wives, urinate on an American flag, and spit on a wounded vet and his service dog. (1) They may have no memory of 9-11 but it’s a fair bet they are learning from the military haters of the 60’s. At the time of this writing the Universities haven’t taken any actions against the fraternities, but given the negative publicity the frats have expelled a few token members and suspended activities at the universities

UF ZBT expelled three members over the incident, so some names are known, probably reported by other members. Those names will leak, for sure. The UF ZBT has been on probation already for hazing last year.

No video or specifics would seem to indicate the incident was very short-lived, although some people have the presence of mind to sell video instead of posting it right away.

That is a beautiful story. Faces and names are needed.

When I came back to the World, I came in through SFO.
About 12 of us got off the aircraft and were walking out of the receiving corridor when a group of hippi-fags tried to spit on us.
It did not end well for them, the SFPD chose not to press any charges. The good guys back then.

Good man! I never experienced anything bad during my military tenure but I’m among the youngest of the ‘Nam vets having served between 72-76.
