Thank you for your service.

[Jilly_in_VA]

8. Good for them!

The way Shitler and Kegsbreath are treating our miliary is nothing short of CRIMINAL! My grandson was all set to enlist until Shitler was elected and then he thought better of it. Glad he did, or he'd probably be in a war that would kill his spirit the way Iraq ultimately killed his uncle.

11. Thank goodness he changed his mind.

44. Which show? What should i search to find it?

[bluestarone]

52. Checked this AM, NOT one word about this.

I checked many news outlets, and NOTHING!! Tells me they don't want people to hear this.

[Wednesdays]

55. It's only newsworthy if there's violence.

But then the hand wringing and pearl clutching begins.
We can't win.

10. I am grateful.

Stay safe from retribution, and I thank you.

13. Republicans might cut veterans benefits to pay for the war

since they support the troops by screwing them.

We the People should go join them, all 340 million of us or at least the better part.

[RT Atlanta]

20. Patriots....

a catalyst with respect to this war of choice that, coupled with other 'choices' (like the taxes, i mean tariffs) have tanked our economy

The Capitol Police are arresting US military veterans for protesting war and genocide. That’s how sick our society is. Protesting war and genocide lands you in jail while supporting war and funding genocide gets you a job in Congress and the White House.

29. I was a minute late. Wow. Not surprised, but damn awful

Even for republicans

[FakeNoose]

50. Maybe it's because they're inside the building?

I think if they had stayed outside for the protest the police couldn't or wouldn't have arrested them.

Because this is peaceful (unlike the Jan.6th coup attempt) it shows that these veterans realized that they would probably be arrested when they entered the building.

[SamuelAdams]

51. That's disgusting.

Rioters can break in, trash the Capitol, steal, and try to overturn an election. They get to go home and are later pardoned. Military veterans are immediately arrested for peacefully exercising the First Amendment rights they fought for.

[brakester]

56. Now,

are the repubes going to cheer about this?

This is what should have been able to happen on Jan6!!

[MerryBlooms]

27. The optics on this will be awful fo trump if he sends in

Police or other military to remove these vets.

[Submariner]

28. Wish I was there

[SleeplessinSoCal]

30. Now THIS is a peaceful protest President Numbskull!

45. The MSM seems to be ignoring this for the most part

as usual

[Figarosmom]

46. With trump these people could lose their retirement

And then have to pay lawyers to get it back. This is bravery. They see what this admin is doing to Senator Kelly and still did it.

[electric_blue68]

47. Thanks to them, and you riversedge for posting!

[eppur_se_muova]

48. Soon, Trmp will brag that he's arrested more US veterans than any other President in history !

He may hold that honor already, given how many veterans ICE has arrested and even deported.

54. Prepare for future smearing like the way John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam vet, was smeared for protesting.

[FakeNoose]

57. Yes John Kerry is the perfect example

Former Secretary of State John Kerry will be a guest on Stephen Colbert's Late Show tonight.

I'm thinking this is the reason why he's coming on, to talk about the Veterans' peaceful protest and subsequent arrests.

[WinstonSmith4740]

58. Fantastic!

So good to see this! When our military starts calling bullshit, it's gonna hit the fan.
