Iraq War Veteran Called ''Baby-Killer'' - verify [View All]

[sniffa]

i have no idea if this is true or not, so i figured i'd post it to DU, and hopefuLLy one/some of you were there.

We told you so...The anti-war, anti-American left (Kerry supporters, too) has begun to call our brave troops "baby-killers". As patriotic Americans, it's up to all of us to STAND UP TO THESE PEOPLE. I will say one thing, if I see this kind of treatment aimed at one of our brave soldiers, the doctrine of pre-emptive force will be applied

And some so-called conservatives out there think we should just leave Michael Moore alone...fat chance. We call a traitor a traitor. This is WAR.

Veteran gets rude welcome on Bainbridge

By ROBERT L. JAMIESON Jr.
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER COLUMNIST

Think about the Seattle area -- Bainbridge Island to be exact -- and you think scenic views and liberal-minded tolerance.

At least the killer views are still there.

The bucolic island's deep reputation for civility got a gut check this week during the annual Grand Old Fourth of July celebration.

That's when Jason Gilson, a 23-year-old military veteran who served in Iraq, marched in the local event. He wore his medals with pride and carried a sign that said "Veterans for Bush."

Walking the parade route with his mom, younger siblings and politically conservative friends, Jason heard words from the crowd that felt like a thousand daggers to the heart.

"Baby killer!"

"Murderer!"

"Boooo!"

To understand why the reaction of strangers hurt so much, you must read what the young man had written in a letter from Iraq before he was disabled in an ambush:
