He was a part of the machine, and who knows what he did while occupying Afghanistan. How many lives were lost because of him and his imperialist brothers in arms?

Does he really, tho?

Even so, I have respect for anyone that is out there protesting and documenting ICE’s campaign of terror.

Right now this is the most important part. I have more respect for common people who've been vigilante in this movement, but more the better.

This sudden "veteran joins in" angle news are pushing seems more like propaganda to belittle grassroots movement.

I’m not understanding the question.

I hadn’t looked at it from a propaganda point of view. Very interesting. Hopefully these videos can help influence more vets to stand up and take their oath seriously. We are in no position to pick and choose who our allies are right now.

They will kill another protestor in the streets, it is only a matter of time. And when they do, we’ll need everyone we can get.
