Portland, Oregon - Veterans burned their US military uniforms during a powerful protest on Wednesday in honor of Aaron Bushnell, the active Air Force member who self-immolated in protest at Israel's war on Gaza.
The action, organized by the group About Face: Veterans Against the War, took place in honor of 25-year-old Bushnell, an active Air Force member who died after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC on Sunday to protest US complicity in Israel's bombardment and invasion of Gaza.

As to that "protest," it surely seems like AstroTurf populated with "protest performers."
As to Alissa Azar, cited as a source for the article, one finds:
"Azar was captured on camera during the brawl rushing in to pepper spray a woman in heels and a dress standing in the park before getting knocked to the ground by a right-wing fighter in riot gear. From the Antifa side, a man shouted repeatedly to Azar: "Mace the female!"This was most assuredly "for the cameras" cosplay by Leftists.Source: Portland Antifa member and OnlyFans starlet charged with felony for brawling at riot Post Millennial, 13 December 2021.
Was John F’ing Kerry there?
No problem. Gather them up and drop them in Gaza to fight for “their team” against the Israelis. My guess is that the Arabs will have them as hostages or sacrifices in short order. Sad that some folks have to learn the truth the hard way.
Like others, I suspect they are likely stolen valor pretenders.
Did they sing the Horst Wessel Lied?
Cowards. “Real men” would have set fire while in said uniforms.
If you support Hamas, let me know. Mebbe I can post you some gasoline.
Americans have no collective memory or cultural heritage. It is both a strength and weakness.
The same thing which allows us to (strength) change, adapt and grow, cut our losses is also what makes us (weakness) naive, unreliable, make stupid decisions if you look at it from a historical or cultural perspective.
Example: we can pivot from being highly negative and discriminatory, to affirming and subsidizing LGBTQIA within a 10 year time period, with every US politician slobbering all over the issue.
America is also a nation of extreme fads and trends with every politician jumping on these and riding them like a surfer.
What you end up with, is a moron US politician today wearing an idiotic button without him even truly understanding the issue. It simply looks/sounds cool today.
Exactly—how many were vets and how many are burning shirts from the Army Surplus store.
I want to know why they weren’t wearing the uniform when they burnt it. It would have improved things all around.
Israel is not waging war on Gaza, they're waging war on Hamas. See Tagline.
Block them from VA benefits forever. They're not real veterans.
How about blocking American veterans who live in Israel or are dual citizens, they’re the ones who have sworn allegiance to a foreign country.
I'm guessing they all voted for Biden.
Three color desert camouflage or DCU fatigues haven’t been issued since the mid 2000s for the Army and USMC while the Air Force and Navy discontinued them in in early 2010s. highly doubt these guys are “vets”...
If this is an accurate representative of our military members, our country is in deep—very deep—doo doo.
If they had aby guts, they would have burned their uniforms while wearing them like the other guy did.
Oh yes, honor the psychologically out of control anti-semetic anti-military pathetic loser who needed attention to prove he was worth something. He is dead like anyone else and has the headlines to prove it.
When I was a kid, we used to get all kinds of cool surplus stuff at Andy & Bax in SE Portland. I think they went out of business a while back, though.
