Bottom line: Being a veteran does not buy you a free ticket to default respect for life. It is contingent on your treatment of your country and your fellow Americans.

If you join an anti-American group like Veterans for Peace, who have broken bread with and supported our enemies, then you lose that default respect we should give all veterans.

Plus, these scumbags have stood outside Walter Reed protesting. I have seen them with my own eyes and counterprotested against them. I detest all of them down to the bottom of my soul, I don’t care what their status as a veteran is.

A veteran joins that group, they are lost to me.

Another thing that bothers me about this story is that everything the doctors say is being reported second hand through family or friends.

Don’t be surprised if this dying vet shows up on left wing talk shows within the next week.

Back in my yute....I was at many events..( parties mainly..) where the cops came and told everyone to leave.

Guess what I did?

I LEFT...I did what the cops said.
