This is the monumentally lame prattle from the left. If you are not just like me you are not welcome. This attack will draw support from the left. Do not be mistaken. The left has never liked the military or veterans and the prattle will turn into chatter, then into a voice and then into a cacophony.
Many of us were around for the treatment of the Vietnam veterans. That will be the treatment you can start to expect. They view us as a threat to their ability to force their will on anyone and everyone.

Agreed on all points. What is un-effing believable to me is that ANY Vet could go into politics as a democrat (a la Tammy Duckworth, et al.).

There's a simple solution. They don't want us, we don't want them. Cut off their federal funding if the school submits to this nonsense.

Capt Dwayne Conyers It is extremely illegal and stereotyping. No one should be excluded from getting and education where ever they want to.

The school didn't submit to anything and disowned what was written. It simply allowed the group its right to "free speech." Repugnant (and wrong) though that speech is, I wouldn't want it any other way. A snippet from the article and the university's position:
[begin quote]On the other hand, respect for the right of someone to speak should never be taken as endorsing the viewpoints that someone has expressed. The viewpoints that the authors express are against the law. UCCS does not discriminate against veterans. But even more fundamentally, UCCS does not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, disability, religion, creed, veteran status, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or political philosophy. People earn the right to study at UCCS by virtue of hard work and individual effort, and we do not bar the door.[end quote]
It was also interesting to note that students at the university are taking down the posts from various places where they have been put up ... and are generally in disagreement with the content.

LTC (Join to see) - I am not like Bill Clinton. I don't waste time explaining little words like "if"

CPT Jack Durish - Nor do you have to. I simply thought it was worth pointing out for those that weren't interested in reading the article that the school had already answered the "if" ... fairly decisively ... and at least some of the students reacted favorably as well. In a season where both school administrators and students at other schools have not shown particularly admirable responses to other incidents, I thought that the fact that in this case they did was worth underlining.

Are we slipping back to the Vietnam-era when our military and veterans were totally disrespected?

I don't think so, Vance, but who can ever know for sure?
The libs have always hated us and were quite vocal even during the Great World War, WWII and before. There is historical evidence of their ilk voicing discontentment toward soldiers, particularly those from the north, during the Civil War.
The difference today is the remembrance of the wrongness of that activity during the VN era and a resistance to it being repeated against our sons and daughters.
The left will never shut their ignorant mouths but their impact is not felt today as it was then; it is more focused on social issues and political figures.
My son is in his 16th year of active duty (4 USMC, 11+ Army) and reports nothing but kindness and respect shown by civilians wherever he goes.
I think the nation has matured in that regard, but still has a long way to go.
