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

Posted on 04/25/2015 7:49:07 AM PDT by darkwing104

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

I disagree. I think they should have been kicked somewhere else.

I don’t see this as a ‘Vietnam flash back’ but as a result of the anti-war indoctrination of the left and Democrat/communist party professorship against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. the young “students’ are doing what they were taught by their anti-American professors.

Yes, I agree. They were dealing with the first generations brought up through the entire corrupt school system and its leftist indoctrination about the wars.

Somewhere a scumbag professor is grinning and laughing in private.

This is about as NSFW as they come and has some very adult language but really hits the nail on the head as far as how I feel about this -

“Founded in 1898 as the world's first Jewish Fraternity,” http://www.zbt.org/

What!?

“Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity was inspired by Richard J. H. Gottheil, a professor of languages at Columbia University and a leader in the early American Zionist movement. “ http://www.zbt.org/who-we-are/the-founding.html

What!?

How did it ‘evolve’ into this mess of subhumans?

Welcome to Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT). Founded in 1898 as the world's first Jewish Fraternity, ZBT prides itself on being an inclusive organization welcoming of any college man who understands and appreciates our mission. With more than 140,000 initiated men ZBT’s can be found in all aspects of life: business, entertainment, media, politics, and much more. In 1989, ZBT became the first fraternity to abolish pledging from its organization and, in its place, created a brotherhood program that focuses on equal rights, privileges, and responsibilities for all members. Welcome to our Journey. We invite you to explore everything that makes ZBT a “Powerhouse of Excellence.”

Looks like spoiled rich Jewish kids. Geraldo Rivera said this was his son's fraternity, but has since graduated. He described the kids as spoiled rich brats, but evidently, they are leftist liberal Jews too.

And what will we do? We are full of nothing but false bravado and unrequited rage. The nation seems to be lost. It is not in good hands now or in the future.

The scumbag professor is only adding to the scumbag HS, which is augmenting the scumbag middle school which advances those darling little elementary kids in their oh so cute school plays about recycling, keeping the envioronment clean and my friend has two mommys

The professors are just the more guilty because they are supposed to be the adults

The elementary are the more evil because they are initiating the false teachings written on the blank slates of a baby's mind

Ultimately Satan and the weak and stupid parents that have no idea what they've done, what to do, and do nothing when someone says, "I'll take over for you ... don't worry"

See Leviticus 26. Idol worship and Sabbath breaking destroys Israel over and over.

Kicked? I’m thinking something more severe that would get me banned on FR.

And what will we do?

Think of the guy who berated a Chick-fil-A employee? He is paying the price, We don't have to do a damn thing. Its called Kama, in layman terms actions have consequences.

The Vets need to file criminal charges. We can support them, but we won't be able to beyond express our opinions unless they do that first.
