the left has their blood martyr.
The unions needed a dead body, and this is going to be it.
Exactly. I made that same point here on this thread:

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.
