10. thanks for sharing that video

I had tears in my eyes just watching that, thank god, for those brave men to speak the truth, very powerful video.
They should not have been arrested. Shameful to treat vets like that.

11. Excellent video

I was concerned about the one vet who was screaming from the sidelines at the Veterans for Peace, but they were able to talk to him. It's obvious he's in a lot of pain. A former Vietnam veteran who is confused about what peace protesters do. They are not dissing soldiers and they are not mistreating the flag. An upside down flag is just a sign of distress.

Very good video.

Bless them all!

12. for war protected in anti-war protests

There were a few for the war protesters in the LA anti war march, they of course marched side by side with the police.

13. Outstanding work!

How moving was that part with the very emotional vet in the crowd who began enraged and then was touched by the Veterans for Peace.
