What difference does it make that he’s a vet? Would it be less outrageous if a non vet got sucker punched?
He’s a good man. That’s why it’s worse. A man who should be honored.
DmanA, it's VERY simple. You enlist, you have no idea what might happen. You might spend your term of service stateside in peacetime, but you also might be alerted in the dead of night that you're being shipped out to some dangerous locale. You have volunteered to, if need be, die for your country. But you have made that choice. It's a choice a lot of us never chose to make. Those that did, deserve our ultimate respect.
Well, if he had punched a politician, would that have been worse or better? There are differences in who it is.
