A former military member who was moderating a panel at the yearly kos tells a soldier who tries to ask a question he will "come down there" and "take the soldier outside" and "make sure he never wears the uniform again"!

you can't hear the Soldier because his mic was either cut off or edited out.

Baloney. The soldier was breaking regs and the speaker was trying to warn him he could be in trouble.

I'm liberal on the war, but this was just disgusting. The liberal veteran REFUSED to answer the question about Iraqi casualties. How hard would it be to give him a yes or no answer regarding the surge? Instead he hides behind this "You're making a political statement in uniform" bs, and then he dares threaten the soldier?? "I wanna see you outside"

He even says "I want the name of your commanding officer." Who the fuck does he think he is? He has no right to request that info.

Y2k129 why do you only post positive comments on your video, I tried to say something negative and it wouldn't post. hmmm.

Oh another thing this particular video was cut to shreds its missing 3 min in the middle. Watch the video titled (Guard duty with 7 Iraqis)

Exactly! If the sgt had said "Bush Sucks! Iraq Sucks!" this lib panel would have put him in for a commendation and spread the vid far and wide. Since he didn't, they censored him and are seeking to have him punished. Clark just got finished saying how more soldiers should "stand up". Yeah, right. The military should *appoint* a uniform to attend these events - in the name of "support the troops" and "fairness" and all. ;)

Be sure to watch the speech that I made at Western Illinois University in March. Type in (Guard duty with 7 Iraqis)

Bravo to this brave soldier. It's quite obvious that Kos can't handle the truth if it doesn't agree with what they choose to believe. I tried watching this same video at the Kos website, and the audio sounds as if it has been tampered with when it gets to the soldier's question.

4. When wearing the uniform would bring discredit upon the Army.( Unless it is wrong to care about the Iraqi people and follow FM 22-100 The Army Leadership manual)

5.When specifically prohibited by Army regulations( Earlier I mention AR 670-1 Ch 30-2

sect. 4)

[Y2K129]

2. When participating in public speeches, interviews, picket lines, marches, rallies,or public demonstrations, except as authorized by a competent authority.( doesn't apply unless I was an official member of the panel. I just asked a question to refute the panel.)

3.When attending any meeting or event that is a function of, or is sponsored by, an extremist organization.(doesn't apply unless they are a group like the KKK)

[Y2K129]

AR 670-1 Para 1-10 sec. Juliet Wearing Army uniforms is prohibited in the following situations:

1. In connection with the furtherance of any political or commercial interests, or when engaged in off duty civilian employment.(This doesn't apply unless I came in support of the Kos convention which I clearly didn't)
