Apparently, not all the terrorists these veterans had to face were in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I remember the early seventies, when going to a high school to recruit for the Coast Guard Academy entailed the daily possibility of verbal abuse.
Young Americans have always stepped up ---voluntarily or reluctantly, as the case may be --- to serve and suffer in the (sometimes ill-conceived, sometimes greedily motivated) wars of their leaders... while others (me included in the sixties) enjoyed the privileges of college/fraternity life.
Nobody ever said life was fair, right?
But for privileged young snots to abuse their contemporaries who have served and suffered is one of the lowest, meanest things I can conceive of... and I can conceive of a lot.
Sad, too, to see yet another Greek scandal. An alumnus of a Animal House myself, I know how tawdry frat life can get. I recall some incidents with personal shame. But never anything so shameful as this story.
