He said he refused to go to Vietnam, so he thinks that all Iraq combat veterans are suckers, in his opinion.

I would talk to the admins because it isn't necessary to say that kind of crap here.
Members of the DU don't have to show respect to veterans, as far as I am concerned.
But, I don't think they should be allowed to openly display disrespect for veterans, either.

Some things are better left unsaid.
I think everyone knows that.

As for the other derogatory comments made about Mexicans, Blacks, gays, and Middle Easterners, those comments are way out of line. They should never be tolerated.

I originally thought that forum hosts were going to act like mods for 90 days and babysit those forums. I thought they had the ability to delete really bad comments. I'm disappointed that so many members still come here to jab sticks in other people's sides just to get a response from them, as if they are striking a blow for freedom or something.

Bad news. I agree. elleng Mar 2012 #1
