In my time researching my subjects I run cross a story from time to time about our veterans….I am always looking for a good uplifting one but sadly most of the stuff I find is about the treatment or the lack of such……..

I have written about the VA, vets benefits, health problems just about everything our vets must face when they come home……..my research has shown that not much has changed from my war, the Vietnam War, to today’s wars…..vets are still getting the short end of the stick.  It is like they are a tool and when it wears down it is discarded…..a sad indictment of this society.

But I found one story the other day that made me mad as Hell…….I could not believe the treatment that some put these brave soul through……..

The latest fraternity making headlines for bad behavior: The Zeta Beta Tau chapters at the University of Florida and, possibly, Emory University. The chapters held their spring formals at Panama City Beach’s Laketown Wharf Resort last Friday, where the Warrior Beach Retreat for wounded Iraq and Afghanistan war vets was also taking place, the Gainesville Sun reports. Fraternity members are accused of spitting on the veterans and their service dogs, tearing magnets and American flags from their cars (and peeing on one flag), tossing beer bottles from a balcony onto the veterans, and vomiting onto awnings covering areas where the vets were gathered. “They knew who [the veterans] were and were just getting a kick out of it,” says retreat founder Linda Cope, noting that the 60 participants were wearing hats and shirts identifying them as having served.

The founder called police, and hotel security got the situation under control (no police report was ultimately filed) and evicted the fraternity members the following day. News of the incident went viral when a veteran’s wife posted about it on Facebook. The fraternity has since sent an apology letter to the organization noting that it is working on figuring out which members misbehaved, and now the president of the University of Florida has offered his own apology and promised a full investigation. Emory is also doing an investigation, but says that so far no evidence implicates its students; Cope tells WJHG she finds that hard to believe. The executive director of the fraternity’s national organization says the chapters at both universities are under suspension as the investigations continue,

These are the people that we are protecting…..I still wonder if they are worth it.  They were not worth it in the 70’s and looks like not much has changed.

Not much has changed from my war to theirs……..society still does not appreciate or want veterans around….for they are a constant reminder of a failed society……..These assholes issued an apology……a blanket apology……….screw them!  It is NOT accepted!  These bastards deserve no quarter.

Society does NOT want to know what the vets go through….they want to say thank you to ease their conscience and move on……..I want somebody to pay for this insult!  Public Caning comes to mind!

Any university that lets this type of disrespect to exist should lose every dime of government money…..and a civil rights investigation should follow……..then……… cane the son of a bitches!
