Scott Olsen is the Marine Corps veteran critically injured at Occupy Oakland Tuesday night, during a confrontation between the protesters and the police. The latest news is good: his condition has been upgraded from critical to fair and he is apparently conscious and able to respond to doctors and family members. I sincerely wish him a full recovery, and I also hope that a proper investigation is conducted to determine whether police misconduct is responsible for his injuries. But I ran across something this evening that may add a new dimension to this story. It has been widely reported that Olsen is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. But apparently his opposition to the U.S. military and the Marine Corps in which he served runs a little deeper. The site is no longer live, but Olsen was the founder of IHateTheMarineCorps.com, a private user forum apparently dedicated to bashing the Marine Corps. Prediction: Attempts to portray this 'useful idiot' as a patriotic marine will fall flat.

My name is Scott Olsen and I hate the Marine Corps more than you. Prove me wrong." Marines furious over police attack on "brother" at Occupy Oakland Jay C Gentile,... “You did this to my brother.” “I see this young man and I picture the men and women that stood beside me during my time in,.... Olsen Gentile, ....“There are just honestly no words to express the bond that Marines feel for each other. This goes across the service, but it’s very specific for the Marines, think of each other “as brothers and sisters — and we mean it.” “I wouldn’t expect less from any other American, military... veteran or not, I would expect people to feel this bond". snip/
