This despicable video needs to be seen by as many people as possible.
The basic gist of it is...
"Dean Smith, I'm having a problem with one of my students.
See... he's a war criminal, oh I mean veteran & he is not unquestionably swallowing our leftist propaganda hook, line & sinker. He's very confrontational & disruptive... he challenges my assertions in front of the other students, asks that I provide objective data to back up my claims, and he actually has the nerve to espouse ideas that run contrary to our ideology.
I'm at my wits end & don't know what to do Dean Smith. Has Obama (all praise be unto him) announced when the reeducations camps will be opened, because my list of candidates is just getting longer with each passing semester?"
I'm perfectly fine with the Walter Reed stories. There are indeed numerous instances where even a liberal media can and has helped our veterans.
But can you honestly look at this entire video and say that it does anything but reinforce negative stereotypes against veterans? I saw this demonization going on thirty years ago with Vietnam vets, and it's happening again with Iraq/Afghanistan vets. It's shameful, and needs to be opposed.

But it sort of reminds me (in the comments made so far) as to the old joke about the young college professor challenging the existence of God by DARING the Lord to knock the prof off his stage in the classroom within 10 minutes. Nine minutes pass and suddenly a new student, a veteran (probably a marine or airborne ranger -- take your pick) gets up, walks over and with a tremendous punch sends the liberal flying and out cold. Waiting for him to come to, the class is utterly silent. When he regains consciousness, the angry liberal sputters Why did you DO that? To which the veteran replies: GOD was busy so he sent ME. Thunderous applause from the class. Actually could be this story has a basis in fact. Wouldn't doubt it.
