"We’ll stand our ground against this nonsense, until it finally bites us back..."
😁
After being hit by a wave of insults directed at the band leader, veterans from a local Green Beret unit issued a public statement yesterday. They are calling on both state and federal authorities to pull the plug on The Beatles' upcoming concert.
- The singer is sowing seeds of division, disrespecting the legacy of our nation's defense efforts, and insulting the first legally elected President of the United States.
The veterans—those who fought to defend cities like Chicago and stood for a unified country—paid in blood for a multi-ethnic society. They won't sit by while he misrepresents their struggle as some partisan political agenda. That's the gist of their statement.
It was us, not him, who fought for a diverse and united America. If this country still has any sense of integrity left, they'll cancel this group's show, according to the Green Berets. 😁
