Florida Fraternity Members Spit on Veterans, Ripped Flags off Vehicles

 

The incidents were reported to Fuchs by Cope and others who witnessed the fraternity members spitting at the veterans and stealing their flags. Fuchs said the school is making every effort to learn what happened and take appropriate action.

 

The Gainesville Sun (UF frat insulted wounded war vets, group says | Gainesville.com ) reports the fraternity is currently on conduct probation for a hazing incident in the fall semester. The fraternity has suspended operations and is cooperating with the investigation.

 

No words.

 

If found to be true, I'm all for expulsion.

 

Doubt criminal charges could be filed, but I'd be all for that as well.

Florida's president has an interesting name.

Nevermind. Second article answered my questions.

Close down that chapter at once, and expulsion for all involved.

 

There seems to be more and more problems with fraternities these days.

I dont know that there are more issues, its just easier to report them publicly now than it used to be.

As a whole, our country has a serious problem with how we treat and care for the veterans who've sacrificed so much for us.

Always have

I respect everyone's service, but I won't treat all vets the same.

 

The guy I met who can recall is painful detail the thoughts he was having after a piece of shrapnel severed a major artery and he thought he was going to die, is way different than my friends brother who talks about the time he and his buddies got high and went to a club in Charlotte and then threw up in the cab.

 

I respect all vets, but I also respect all persons regardless. But I think society needs to stop lumping all vets as heroes. I know it's an unpopular opinion, and is sure to get a lot of flack, but it's how I've felt in the post 9-11 era. If you got shot at, were in a hostile area or medically treated those in a hostile area or trained those going to fight, you get my thanks and admiration. If you just did random stuff on base, you don't get quite as much.

 

No one deserves to be mistreated, and I feel that combat vets are really kind of shuttered from the core of society, but I am going to think of vets differently.

We've come a long way since Vietnam.
