Those as yet unbeaten rented mules at Veterans Today<\/a> have stretched the definition of “heroic” to include those douche nozzles in Chicago Sunday who tossed their medals at NATO. Of course, a featured photo is that of phony Ranger puss bucket, Graham Crumpner<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

What’s really disgusting about Crumpner and his phony Ranger act is that I know for a fact that IVAW knows that he’s not a Ranger, but they let him use that label in media interviews. But, that’s alright, because we finally have an address on him and the FOIA request has been submitted. You would have thought that they would have learned after fake Ranger Jesse MacBeth.<\/p>\n

But, back to the “heroics” of this act. What is so heroic about standing in a crowd of anti-war protesters and being their mannequin and making an anti-war statement? What might be more brave would be standing in a crowd of the Gathering of Eagles folks and proclaiming those words. But that would lean more in the direction of being foolish.<\/p>\n

What about the heroic people who left IVAW and the anti-war movement. After realizing that they were being used to project their own military service on to those who had never served, or those clowns who had never left the country, dozens decided to stand up for themselves and walk away, some more vocally than others. That’s heroic. They went against the grain and condemned IVAW’s heroes like Matthis and Carl Webb in the face of criticism and derision. Some of them even faced down the ass-munch clowns who tried to get them to desert or refuse their deployment orders “for the movement”.<\/p>\n

So where is Veterans Today on the case of the abused folks in the anti-war movement who stood up to the peer pressure and threats of acts of violence and go their own way? I didn’t see anyone being abused or threatened in Chicago. Those clowns were just going along with the crowd around them. How is that heroic?<\/p>\n
