Since Occupy Wall Street protests have broken out in cities across the U.S. and abroad, support has come from what might seem like an unlikely corner: war veterans.

But two of the highest-profile protesters -- each from opposite ends of the country -- had served in wars. Last week, the world watched as bleeding, dazed 24-year-old Marine Scott Olsen was carried away by fellow protesters after he was struck in the head by an object apparently fired by an Oakland police officer. And before that, Marine Sgt. Shamar Thomas was captured on video confronting a group of New York police officers he said had been too rough with protesters.

"These riot squads deploy unlawful excessive force against Americans all service members swore to protect, and many veterans have sacrificed their lives in that honor. We at OMC will not stand idly by as these cowards continue to abuse the Constitution, hurting American citizens. We will use any nonviolent means to convince law enforcement agencies to understand that brutality will only strengthen our resolve," the spokesperson said, adding that the group acknowledged that not all Marines agreed with the group's position.

"Veterans for Common Sense is troubled to learn that Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen was badly injured this week by police at the Occupy Oakland gathering. We wish him a speedy and full recovery. VCS supports the right of Veterans for Peace to exercise the freedoms they have defended with their service."

So? Please explain why that is relevant. Seeing as how I'm goofy and all, I just don't get why that matters.

Hey Goofy - I've got a question for you:

We all know that Pluto is a dog - but what kind of animal is Goofy. Are you a dog, too?

LOL...

Which leads to the next questions:

1) Why did Disney create TWO retarded dogs, but only one talked?

2) So....Which one is Ming and which one is Mom?

1) I think that Pluto (the dog) was just a figment of Disney's imagination. After all, who ever heard of a Mouse having a dog for a pet?

2) I think they're the same poster playing "good cop, bad cop". (Or is it smart cop, dumb cop?)
