Veterans have clearly been classified as domestic threats to the current political administration.

I was just thinking about this the other Day. The recent vets have suddenly become the official TV villain. In the last couple weeks half the shows that I saw had that as their plot.

Holy cow... My exact words. The wife, and I were watching our shows as the fall season came back on, and they are absolutely FULL of plotlines where combat veterans have become enraged and turned against the government as "domestic terrorists" in the new shows.

My wife, who still refuses to see the evil in the world) said maybe they were just trying to shed light on mental health issues.

Funny how "mental health" issues always seem to take the form of veterans turning against the government...

Wonder how long vets will put up with this liberal Hollywood stereotyping?

Same thing happened in the 70s and 80s with how Hollywood portrayed Vietnam Vets. They were often shown as addicted, crazy or homeless.

I’m not sure what they can do about it, but the time has come to raise public awareness.

I noticed that starting last season with "white nationalists". Now it has moved to the January 6th "Insurrection". I should just stop watching television, seems as how I am now going to be betrayed as an unstable veteran just because I served in Iraq and don't agree with the current regimes' policies.

The democrats and media have always feared the military/veterans, they've had to fake supporting them for years but now that's fading away, it's only going to get worse.

Everything I was thinking has already been said, so I’ll just add my “F*** the ATF”.

 

[Drail]

Only the idiots at the BATFE would do something as stupid as raiding Vicker's bunker.

 

[YahwehsBattleAxe]

just another political terror force like the FBI.

The story says he has cancer and is undergoing chemo, so not really unimaginable that he could have let something slip through the cracks.

And... **** the ATF.

Awww man, that sucks. I did not know that.

There's the article, there's the rumor / innuendo / speculation, there's what's been released to the public, and then there's the truth.
