We have a young man, who first confronts Cindy Sheehan, a 'GoldStar Mother', than attacks a Brother Vietnam Veteran, one who fought in that conflict and knows Wars of Choice and opposes what is going on now, telling him he if he hates America, and is collecting Service Connected Disability, he shouldn't be getting what is owed him, for that service to Country. If he was wounded in battle, physically or mentally.
Not knowing if this brother 'Nam Vet is on Service Connected Disability.
So this civilian must think No Veteran Deserves Service Connected Disability unless said Vets Agree With Him.
Than he first claims, at 31 and loving gwb {and looking physically fit, a tad overweight though} doesn't know he can join up til age 42, that the military doesn't want him{?}!
But if bush asked he'd go, go for it little georgie, grab him, cannon fodder for the Neo-Cons, cheney'll give him a hug.
Than tries to spin his way out of that.
This while Military Personal are Serving Multiple Tours, he is making no attempts to join and serve in a War He Wants Others To Fight in, that he Supports but won't!!
UPDATED
I posted the above over at Daily Kos and a few there did quick search's and found out abit of information, one of which is this:
The 'brave 31yr old civilian' going after Cindy than pointing fingers at my Brother 'Nam Vets is the Secretary of the Montgomery County Republican Club:
Secretary
Chris Vucovich
Check it out
{These two graphics are from tiganatoo's photos, and there's plenty more.}
and JohnGor0 commented to kraant's reply with:
How is it
some guy can just log onto the internet, and in 5 minutes, or so, can find out that he's part of a republican club, but journalists don't know how to do that?
Great work and giving Credit where Credit is due, a Great find and comment!
But there's more
JohnGor0 also found a fluff piece on good ole Chris Vucovich.
Area man in spotlight after Sheehan confrontation
Chris Vucovich had been having a bad week, and the last thing on his mind was becoming part of a national news story.
Right!!
He had surgery earlier in the week to remove kidney stones
Maybe wanting a way to get the blood flowing for quicker healing, ya think.
He decided to stop to hear what was going on
Surprise! Surprise!! While driving by he came upon Cindy Sheehan and 'Nam Vets, amoung others, and with a few minutes on his hands decided to stop, O.K., I'll buy that, nawwwwww.
Vucovich is a student of history as well as journalism, and 1975 has special meaning for him. That's the year he was born. It's also the year North Vietnamese troops marched into South Vietnam and took over the country.
A student of history he is, and in confronting my Brother 'Nam Vets he did exactly what most of the country did back than, Verbally Spit {by the way, that's where the bunk tales of actual spitting derived from} on them!
But in the fluff piece one gets the idea he really cares about Vietnam Veterans, Veterans, Active Duty Military in Iraq and Afganistan, Vietnamesse and Iraq citizens.
Well actions and words tell more than a printed news article, as shown in the video!
The fluff mentions the 15min. of fame, I'm extending that some.
This is a great example of what I read on the few boards I belong to, where there's a few defenders of the administration and repugs in congress and in general. Prior to the last election I started passing some of their comments on to folks I knew who were registered repubs, and liked to brag about that especially as to the previous Presidential office holder. But I knew these folks had some brain matter still working. They were starting to understand what was going on, add extremely hypocritical {and totally stupid} comments from deep seated supporters royally embarassed these folks, knowing they were being seen in the same light. A whole bunch flipped registration to Independant and gave up the information they Voted Democratic. Now saying they will stay Indies and are fed up with what's happened to their once political party, for it's no longer that ideology but just a name.
Now Chris is not only a student of history and an ex-student of journalism, we find out what he does now Thanks to marine retired who posted in this reply:
Typical all mouth,no action BushBot!
The overweight Financial Planner from Birmingham Ala,also yelled out that he was needed here to pay taxes! The vet that he was dissing for collecting a check from the Gov. had a lot more composure than this 100% Disabled, Retired Marine would of had!
But that's what fat-ass slackers like Chris want,someone to physically attack them then, they'll play the victim! Rest assured in my case, he'd of been a victim,he'd be a real hurting victim!
Google his name with Financial Planner after it!
Which is also mentioned in the fluff piece.
This 'Non Sequitur' cartoon fits ole Chris:
Now I wonder how many he is Advising, in doing their Financial Planning, are Profitting off of the Blood of our Soldiers and the Innocents, how many are 'War Profitteering', and how much is he getting in return for his advice, just wondering.
Would hope he's not pointing folks to No-Bid Government Contractors.
There were some great comments but there's just one more that really needs reading as well as being archived more, on these boards, to make the point.

E-mail to the Montgomery County Republicans!
At their website, they invite you to send in events for their calendar. So I e-mailed them:Here's a really big event that's missing from your calendar:
The day Chris Vucovich takes the oath to enlist in the army, so he can fight in the war in Iraq that he tells us is so important.
Sure, he's a flabby slice of ignorant white bread right now, but a sign up and a few tours in Iraq should get rid of those man-boobs, and may even get his testicles to descend, or regenerate.
Which is it, by the way? Did someone cut off his gonads, and that's why he can't fight in the war he wants the rest of us to join, or are they undescended, and thus hiding - like Chris himself?
Another sniveling GOP coward/bully.
Anybody else want to congradulate the Montgomery County Republicans?
Feel Free!!
If they were sent to fight, they are too few. If they were sent to die, they are too many!

James - Thank you!
I hope I have found all of your posts on this topic through google. I always like to
put additional links and info on my blog posts.
Listen to those who've served, for a change!
My ex-husband, now deceased, was a Vietnam vet. At the bottom on one diary entry at DailyKOS I wrote this: Background:
The father of my oldest two children was a Viet Nam vet.
He was called a "baby killer" when he got home and when he sought help a WWII vet said to him, "You pussies lost us, a war, why should we help you?" His PTSD, the lack of early treatment and the cutting of his disability benefits by the Reagan administration helped fuel his violence and abuse, which ended our marriage.
We regained a friendship over a decade later, shortly before he passed away in a motorcycle accident last summer.
I have, for many years, written many letters and argued for veteran's health services, in fear of what our government has now been proven to have actually done and continues to do to those it sent to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I am also a member of OYE. But most of all I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your posts.
