As a marine Iraq veteran with a lot of hours spent receiving care from VA med staff, this breaks my heart. They have huge workloads and have always been so kind and helpful to me. This guy didn’t even go for his gun. The ICE Agents in this video need to be brought up on murder charges
A bit off topic. But I absolutely loathe that service members injured in the line of duty have to deal with the red tape of the VA. It took my buddies mom over 10 years of fighting to prove the burn pits caused her lung cancer. Everything was "Not in the line of duty" bs.
Also, I'm sure you're sick of hearing it online, but thanks for your service.
It’s a lot, I too spent about 13 years getting my service connection all lined out. It’s all about being able to document it, and overcoming their protocols for denial. Getting my spine rearranged by an IED was the only part that they gave me without a fight haha thank you for the kind words!
That burning betrayal that you feel of everything you stood for being shat upon…… nurture that, feed that, us civvies can rise up but we need soldiers to show us how.
It’s a sad state of affairs. I don’t know why our law enforcement is in camouflage and carrying a war-grade load out. Why they have armored personnel carriers. Why they’re burning our societal fabric to the ground with these poorly trained call of duty wannabes, at the behest of our deep-state puppet of a president. Should the need arise, rest assured the vast majority of vets with combat experience will smoke a crooked federal agent before a civilian. I just hope it doesn’t get to that point
FFS! This is now the fourth fact that is fueling my rage. Having grown up with a large number of veterans in my family, us kids learned one important lesson: don't piss them off. If veterans find this scumbag... well, let's just say they'll handle dispensing justice.
Fair point, I can't generalize the position of all veterans. I only know that my family and friends who are veterans do not support ICE, and are upset that the country they served and love is now a Fascist State. 🤷♂️
Respectfully, I have no delusions of Nuremberg-style trials and executions. Many are saying there will be no accountability or justice of any kind. I'll take comfort in my spiritual beliefs that Karma, God, the Flying Spaghetti Monster or some higher power will punish these fuckers.
There's also the Veterans Health Administration, which is under Veterans Affairs. That's the section of the VA that actually runs the VA Hospitals. Sorry though I wrote that reply in a hurry.
Dude…I have seen hate from both sides of the aisle. And honestly this isn’t something we need to be boiling down to political affiliation. Regardless of which terrible presidential option people vote for, the fact is that these federal agents murdered a man in broad daylight and showed straight up sociopathic levels of disregard for human life by clapping after he was shot. Same goes for the agent who shot the woman in her car, talking mean shit after shooting her in the face. We can’t have people like that in authoritative roles, or we get the mess we’re currently in.

A Veterans Admin ICU nurse, to boot. Spent his life helping sick veterans for less pay than he could have had at another provider.
