Veterans Excluded from Parade Honoring Their Service

[MegaAra1]

Keep wearing red silvia because your a communist, and the guy in purple shirt your just a fat fucking civilian so shut the fuck up. yea she supports todays soldiers, and screw vets of the past just like the va does.

[PriaNorm]

why doesnt USA simply send all its Republicans to fight in Iraq considering they support it so much.

[cynestol9]

This isn't a republican vs democrat thing. Democrats are dickless coward hippies and republicans are money-grubbing fat cat corporate whores.

The two party system does -not- work.

[shoobydoowow]

damn! did you see that women at 1:57!?

[6842742]

I was hoping she was hot but my god! only in the us...

[WolYou]

Whoever believes in "Nations" will soon realize, that the construct named "Nation" is an empty symbol. Created by the very same individuals who pushes you into turmoil. If you fight for America, you're fighting for nothing than an idea that you don't even understand.

[cynestol9]

That's the smartest thing I've ever seen anyone say on youtube.

[ratwell71]

Because I am proud to be American where at least I know I am free. I won't forget the men who died that gave that right to me... Have we forgotten what it is to be a patriot? I will defend my country. I will not let those that died, like my father, die in vain. They Served to Preserve. It is a disgrace that we are fighting a war that cannot be won. Is our objective to win so great that we cannot admit we were wrong to go there in the first place? Shameful, digraceful, etc..

[ratwell71]

I SERVED to PRESERVE our Constitution. I am no terroist. I am an American Patriot. I am a lover of God, country, and freedom. Am I anti-government? I am anti-big-government. Get Rockerfeller out of politics. If Rockerfeller wants to make our country communist then I say this to him: Leave our Country. There are plenty of communist countries to live in. I will be damned that you make ours anything but a REPUBLIC. This I pledge my life on. If my blood is to be spilled it will be spilled here.

[ratwell71]

The rules of war need to be changed: If we are expendable in the eyes of our government then the Commander in Chief needs to be. If he can deploy without a declaration then he needs to prepare to lead these men and women into war. Don't give up golf Mr. President, give up your own life for this so-called liberation. George Washington led his men. Hell, Queen Elizabeth led her men. Why then should a ChickenHawk expend the lives of our people over political gain.

[ratwell71]

Noone in their right mind is for WAR. What is anti-government about this? I think it is a shame that our own government tells us we are fighting for liberty but takes those same liberties away from us. So I ask you who is the enemy here? I ask you to identify a terrorist? I ask you how can I soldiers win a war against terrorism when they cannot identify the enemy? It was a war that was not suppose to be won. I think we need to change the rules of war: The President needs to be on the frontlines

[ratwell71]

I am a veteran and I am against THIS war. First, Bush did not have a formal declaration of war so he deployed our troops. Then there is the FACT that Iraq did not attack us nor were they aggressive and they did not have Weapons of Mass Destruction.

These people that call veterans against war a disgrace have either never served their country nor have seen war. Let them switch places and see if they want war or to expend a life for nonsense politcal gain. Blood for OIL.

[mowriter]

Thank you for your service, sir. And thank you for speaking up; yours are by far the most legitimate voices to advocate on behalf of future veterans and future service men and women.

[esiewm]

The reason why the Bush administration doesn't care what veterans have to say is because most people who serve in the military aren't billionaires

Bush is a joke, and the whole world is laughing at us

[dedebiren]

These veterans need to organize their own parade.

[KazzRacer]

That person who yelled that they are a disgrace, looked like a total redneck, who thinks capping somebody in the head will solve all the world's problems. I think that the world would be a lot better without the war going on!

[justinmatthew]

Veterans are the first people that I want to listen to involving WAR. They have been there and I have not! I want to hear what they have to say, I don't want the GOVERNMENT tell me that they are not allowed to voice their OPINIONS! We should all be able to peacefully assemble! I'm getting tired of this B.S.

[KARStarla]

Why do they call those who are for "peace" as "anti-war" as if thats a bad thing?

Why dont they just call them "for peace" protestors?

[NiemandBinich]

I think maybe they're misunderstood. As long as we're fighting Jihadis over there; there is no glory to be won over here. They simply want a change in venue for the war, cause like it or not, it's gonna be fought somewhere.

[NutFreeZone]

The Bill of Rights worked well for over 200 years. We cannot let McCain win the next election and continue Bush's third term. We need our rights back.

[rollinmitchell1]

thanks for posting this

[DVincentW]

Breaching a house outer wall, and finding a family murdered by the ord. placed, no weapons...

What do you say to that?

[mom4education]

Marching in their military uniforms, a pro-war agenda was certainly allowed in this ARMED FORCES Day Parade.

Carrying flags with the word 'peace' and a single dove, VETERANS for peace were disallowed.

There's freedom of expression for ya. Going down the tubes like much of our freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I'm wondering how many people in Bremerton have stock in the weapons industry.

I am saddened.

Is there any way we can tap this American sector who speak of our freedoms, vs actualize them, and get them to wear fluorescent orange vests and work as teams to pick up litter off our highways all across the nation?

This would be a great way for them to prove how great they are.

Maybe we could outfit them all with portable solar panels, as well, and have them generate electricity. We could also GPS-tag them to keep track of if they're slacking on the job. Maybe even watch them 24/7 on the web

[witzkeyman]

the flag is everything. look at the SUPERPATRIOT Oliver North who sold weapons to Iran. lol
