One who lost his leg and was listing the names of those who died by his side and they were chanting over him.

Sickening!!! Absolutely disgusting and they have no business here.

This is Westboro Church level of disrespect.

I like to get other people's perspectives.

Sometimes I give my own perspectives, as in the case of the post to which you just replied.

for your edification consideration, you provided a fact about yourself, not an opening for a dialogue.

And for the record, I am very familiar with Nam' vets and disabilities and families who cope, or not, with them.

I appreciate the feedback. What I said didn't fully acknowledge the original post and provide a response. I can understand that that might occur as "off."

Who were angry at Obama for not solving every problem by his second day in office. God, what would they have done to Bernie?

This isn't a free for all. It's a scheduled list of speakers at a by-invitation event.

Folks have spent lots of $ to get there.

They have the right to hear these speakers without having them drowned out by useless booing.

IMO
