Absolutely no excuse whatsoever for this type of behavior. A total lack of respect for the departed men and women who served their country in order to make it a better place for us all.

These 's need to be tracked down and shot!

Re: Vandals shred U.S. flags, plant swastikas on veterans' graves for Memorial Day

I would like to volunteer for that service. They like swastikas? I hope none of them are jewish, handicapped, or anything that would set them apart form Hitler's master race. Because if they were they would have been in those camps. I have no patience for this kind of sh*%. All you can do with someone like that is shoot them.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: Vandals shred U.S. flags, plant swastikas on veterans' graves for Memorial Day

That is really unbelievable!

How dumb can a person be to do this just for the "coolness" factor or yet worse as an political statement?

It's as bad as desecrating any grave but these guys fought for the very future the numbnuts who did this now enjoy!

So sad...

Where do they get it? Oh I'd say from all the 60's anti-war crap they think is so cool. They should be sent to a VA to meet vets and explain their actions, then shoot them and their idiot parents. Of course you know the ACLU is linning up to defend these .

Re: Vandals shred U.S. flags, plant swastikas on veterans' graves for Memorial Day

Don't over-react, Guys. That's just what the kind of people who do this sort of thing want you to do. They want to show the world that the western democracies are ' Reactionary ' i.e. they can provoke a violent reaction to what they will contest is a ' political ' act.

Sure, tell them exactly what you think about their actions ( and don't mince your words! ) but don't fall into the trap of advocating violence on the little b.............s! That's the way that they win! They have proved their point ; that The USA will react first and ask questions later.

Shooting from the hip is a reaction to a threat. It is not how you deal with mosquitoes!

The people who have done this do not subscribe to the values which most Americans hold dear. They have no interest in 'joining' a tribute to the soldiers to whom most Americans owe a solemn prayer of gratitude for the sacrifice of their lives in a time of peril. No, that's not their goal. Their goal is to destroy the fabric of the west. To divide communities. To provoke the blind reaction.

It will come as no surprise to anyone that they don't think of the pain they cause to the families of the dead. Their calculation is beyond that measure. They aim to disrupt and to confuse.

The desecration of graves in Europe has become endemic. Graveyards are a very soft target for these cowards. The resting places of the dead of ethnic minorities and the memorials to former occupiers have clearly become targets here. Very little is reported because it has become common, and also because it is divisive.

There is little to be done to prevent the actions of the nightcrawlers except to catch and convict them. Perhaps a salutory lesson in punishment and being faced with the families of the dead might shame them, but I doubt it. My impression is that they want to make a point and to hit the media with it as quickly as possible.

Calculated!

( how is mainstream U.S. News reacting to all this? )
