That makes me so angry.. The people who are in the best position to protest this ridiculous piece of sh*t war based on corporate greed and bigotry are being intimidated our of protesting. What a bunch of bull..

This administration is absurd. I hate the piss-poor treatment that vets get from our own government. The government's attitude seems to be "go and fight and die, but don't expect anything when you get back." These vets need to be treated like heroes, not garbage. I have a friend of mine, a Marine. He's already served 1 tour in Afganistan, and 2 in Iraq. And George "I'm-a-Raging-Douche" Bush is sending him back next month.

This is really starting to look like we're going to need to march again, just like the 60's, it's so identical, except we don't have the leaders we had then. I remember the Vietnam vets - I'm pretty sure in some sort of military get-up, and definitely wearing their medals - they were protesting.

I've gone to a few protests - a couple of them were led by Rocky Anderson
