Ekan kerran kun näin otsikon tuosta tuli mieleen, että monikohan noista tyypeistä on oikeita sotaveteraaneja ja moniko vain väittää olevansa. Ei meinaan olisi eka kerta kun joku pelle "tunnustaa" sotarikoksia vaikka ainoa palvelus olisi keskenjäänyt alokaskausi.

http://news.yahoo.com/veterans-symbolically-discard-medals-anti-nato-rally-235355143.htmlCHICAGO (Reuters) - Nearly 50 U.S. military veterans at an anti-NATO rally in Chicago threw their service medals into the street on Sunday, an action they said symbolized their rejection of the U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/20/11777541-life-over-war-us-veterans-return-medals-at-nato-summit?liteCHICAGO -- Dozens of anti-war veterans tossed their medals onto a Chicago street Sunday near where NATO began its two-day summit, calling them “representations of hate,” “lies” and “cheap tokens,” and with some making emotional pleas for forgiveness from the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. “May they be able to forgive us for what we have done to them, may we begin to heal...” he said. They began hurtling their war service medals into the air -- a rare form of protest that was last done on a large scale by 900 Vietnam veterans in 1971. "We need to be feeding our children, not the war machines," said Kellie Stewart.
