Political Rememberance

Did anyone see what happened in Ottawa?
Several vets who were in attendance turned their backs to the G.G., when she laid a wreath,protesting her being appointed G.G. despite her controversial video. When a young man was asked what he thought he said it was inappropiate and got a bit of an earful from one of the vets, asking him where he served, and the vet said he served to have his right to protest and then I believe it was a female vet said to the young man 'well you don't deserve to wear this...' and yanked off his poppy.

I didn't see all that happened, but I caught part of it on the news. If those vets wanted to do something as an act of protest then they are more than welcome to do so. However if one of those vets yanked the poppy off some one that disapproved of the little protest, then that vet is very much in the wrong.

Furthermore I am amazed at the stupidity of some people. They get themselves all wound up over some idiotic comments made by a backbench seperatist. Talk about biting in a troll. It just goes to show the rest of the country how little prodding it takes to get others foaming at the mouth. Talk about being led around by the nose.
