Scott Olsen is the Marine Corps veteran critically injured at Occupy Oakland Tuesday night, during a confrontation between the protesters and the police. The latest news is good: his condition has been upgraded from critical to fair and he is apparently conscious and able to respond to doctors and family members. I sincerely wish him a full recovery, and I also hope that a proper investigation is conducted to determine whether police misconduct is responsible for his injuries.
But I ran across something this evening that may add a new dimension to this story. It has been widely reported that Olsen is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. But apparently his opposition to the U.S. military and the Marine Corps in which he served runs a little deeper.
The site is no longer live, but Olsen was the founder of IHateTheMarineCorps.com, a private user forum apparently dedicated to bashing the Marine Corps. (click to enlarge)

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the draft end in 1970? If he hated the Marines so much, then why did he join?

The video I saw last night, showed this critically injured ex Marine making a phone call on his cell phone... all the while laying on the ground.
Now, maybe he did have a fractured skull; not everybody with a fractured skull injury is unconscious. But showing him talking on the phone does bring into question the veracity of the report that he was critically injured.
Has the hospital verified this diagnosis, or is this just the opinion of the Occupy medic/s, whose “Medic” qualification is that he took a Basic First Aid course when he wasin 6th grade?

My guess? To piss off liberal mom and dad. Only he got a heavy dose of Marine reality and didn’t like all the discipline.
Still, it doesn’t excuse what happened to him or to those who were trying to help him as he lay in the street.
Looks like the kind of guy who would have benefited from rescinding “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” if you ask me.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear his head isn't as busted as the Marx in the Parks gang wanted.
Get better, boy.
Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen lays on the ground bleeding from a head wound after being struck by a by a projectile during an Occupy Wall Street protest in Oakland,Calif. Olsen suffered a fractured skull while marching with other protesters attempting to reestablish a presence in the area of the disbanded camp, said Dottie Guy, of the Iraq Veterans Against the War. Police Chief Howard Jordan says an internal reviewboard and local prosecutors have been asked to determine if officers on the scene used excessive force.
Need to get the word out on this. Get it to Fox News, talk radio, etc. This Olsen guy is their modern day Kent State martyr, and the media is trying to claim he is a patriotic veteran. I knew this guy would turn out to be a leftist druggie who hated the very military her served in. It was only a matter of time before his past was uncovered - now we have to get the truth out.
Why join the Corps for that? He could have pissed his parents off just as much by joining the air force.
Sounds like a tear gas canister to the head might have helped.
He had a dishonerable discharge from the Marines....
