Apparently, the picture above is from that media assault. I understand that, really, I do. My first reaction when I got the partial story was the same thing. Then I started doing my little &#8220;Google-foo&#8221; thing and started reading about how the thing happened and that Olsen was a member of IVAW and Veterans For Peace &#8211; big warning signals.<\/p>\n<p>But the clincher for me&#8230;.because if you read my first about him, you&#8217;ll notice I wasn&#8217;t my usual asshole self. I gave him unquestioned credit for his service and two tours in Iraq&#8230;But, then this morning I read what he thought of his &#8220;brothers&#8221;;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Maybe the brainwashing didn\u2019t work on us. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Loosely translated, that means the rest of you who are proud of your service and proud of the heritage and history of the Corps are brainwashed&#8230;you fell for the bullshit. That&#8217;s the guy you want to defend? Really?<\/p>\n<p>Both times I&#8217;ve written about him, I&#8217;ve been sympathetic about his injuries, even though he should have been following the instructions of the police&#8230;like anyone with half-of-a-brain would do &#8211; the police didn&#8217;t injure the whole Marine Corps&#8230;they injured one hippie fuckstick who has professed his hatred for the Marines.<\/p>\n<p>No self-respecting Marine would join IVAW, whose most famous Marine was Rick Duncan\/Strandlof the phony gay Captain from Colorado, or VFP whose chief fund raiser is Doug Zachary, a Marine who was jettisoned from the Marine Corps for dealing drugs and being a general nuisance before he could be deployed to Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, do you want to peg your service to Olsen&#8217;s? Especially since most of Olsen&#8217;s posts on his website make it sound as if he was <a href=\"https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-ash4\/s720x720\/298176_318642398150605_100000145431507_1543046_359606776_n.jpg\">chaptered out\/<a> for some sort of malfeasance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADDED:<\/strong>Sporkmaster found this picture on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/fatblast40\/16557482\/in\/faves-14375183@N07\/\">Olsen&#8217;s Flickr account<\/a>.
