\n‘We have to get it right’ – Trump supporters march through Washington DC<\/em><\/p>\n

Some national veterans organizations have vowed to remove members who are charged in the Capitol riots.<\/p>\n

Disabled American Veterans (DAV) are among a handful of veterans organizations who are actively checking membership lists for members who have appeared in the news. DAV and American (AMVETS) said they also plan to revoke memberships of those found guilty of illegal acts of violence.<\/p>\n

“We believe that our members have a very sacred right to protest,” Dan Clare, a spokesman for DAV, told CNN. “They fought and sacrificed to protect that freedom, but when protesters cross the line and commit illegal acts, especially in the nation’s capitol, we found it to be abhorrent.”<\/p>\n

Awesome. What about those participating in riots and acts of violence during the preceding months?<\/p>\n

Veterans Groups Plan to Expel Any Members Who Took Part in Capitol Riot<\/h3>\n

By Richard Sisk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disabled American Veterans is warning that any member who is found to have participated in the U.S. Capitol riots last week will face expulsion from the one-million member veterans service organization. And it\u2019s not the only veterans service organization looking to come down hard on these insurrectionists.<\/p>\n

The rioters’ actions were “a disgrace to our national values and must not be tolerated,” DAV National Commander Stephen “Butch” Whitehead said via Twitter on Saturday.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 6, Trump supporters swarmed into the building, resulting in fatal injuries to U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. At least a handful of veterans have been identified as taking part; one was shot and killed by police. Altogether, six deaths are linked to the incident, including a Capitol Police officer who is believed to have died by suicide.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not a member of either, so I have no dog in this fight. My opinions of the activities by all concerned that day are just that- mine. It does strike me as disingenuous that the DAV and other veteran organizations have remained silent ’till now, considering the terror, riots, and violence from the left over recent history. In the past the DAV has also done a poor job of vetting it’s leadership’s qualifications, opening the door to valor thieves. Perhaps some self reflection is in order before throwing stones.
