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.

October 27, 2011 Manipulating Men In all the ages of man There are those who say 'We can!’ And all the while Men of guile Make sure the shit hits the fan. In all the ages of war There are those who shout 'No more!’ And all the while Men of guile Wade round in entrails and gore. Through all the ages we cry As we watch the innocents die, And all the while Men of guile Tell lie after lie after lie. When all that is left is a grave And no more children to save, Then men of guile Will smile and smile And call our sacrifice 'brave’. When all that’s left is a list Of 'lost in battle – sorely missed’, Then with a smile Those men of guile Still make money hand over fist. But when we replace bloody war With peace from shore to shore, Then no more smiles For men of guile Because of something called Law. Lesley Docksey 27/10/11
