My father was a WWII veteran. He was 16 when he enlisted and lied about his age. He received a hero's funeral at a National Cemetery including a memorial flyover.
That memorial stands for something that every American should respect. Doing damage to it is unconscionable, and I hope the person who damaged it is punished for it.
There is, however a point that does need to be addressed. The fact that so many will decry this act and be rightiously pissed off about it, will turn around and claim that the attack on our Capitol was no big deal. How can a political viewpoint that is so obviously hypocritical be supported by so many?
I don't care if people support Trump, half the country voted for him, I get it. But somebody's gotta explain how his supporters that attacked that day deserve clemency, but this crazy b1tch should go to jail?
Vandalize a sacred monument, bad. Attack the Nation's Capitol, ok because stop the steal.
It boggles the minds of reasonable people.
