Wounded Vet heckled at Columbia
This young Army Staff Sergeant was shot 11 times in a firefight in Iraq, came home to spend two years rehabilitating at Walter Reed and addressed a group at Columbia, where he is a student, and was met with jeers, catcalls and total disrespect.
I suggest that employers who see resume’s from folks who graduate Columbia, sincerely check them out and understand the quality of people they may be hiring. I personally wouldn’t hire any of them based on this response to a veteran who placed it all on the line.
I have nothing against them disagreeing with policy or the military, but to do so in such a low class, third world manner, doesn’t speak well for the students, their parents or the professors that influence them.
This does not necessarily reflect the views of the Marine Corps League and are entirely my own.. Dave Wojta
A buddy sent this link to me the other day and I think it’s really worth looking at. Many photos from the Pacific theater that you probably haven’t seen. It is amazing to me that so many photos have not made it to the public so many years after the war. These are some of the most graphic depictions that I have seen.PhotoBlog
