Two Returning Iraq Soldiers Beaten in Seattle

"SEATTLE - Two soldiers who just returned from a year in Iraq were badly beaten in an attack outside Pioneer Square. But believe it or not, someone caught the beating on videotape. Now, police are asking for your help identifying the suspects."

3. Yes it is sick. Doesn't sound like being Iraq soldiers had anything to
do with it though. Just bad circumstance.

8. I don't see how they can
There was no way to tell they were soldiers. It appears to have stemmed from the fact that one of the soldiers girlfriends threw a hotdog at one of the assailants after being groped by the jerk.

9. Okay, you're right...I was assuming (stupidly) they were in uniform...
it's not apparent from the piece either way...

10. exactly...
but you know the right wing...they will blame the liberals for this...they will pull that anti-american leftie shit out of their asses and blame it all on us...

I didn't like the reporting of the incident...the reporter kept mentioning Iraq and the fact that they were soldiers...over and over and over again...I don't see how them being soldiers had anything to do with what really happend.
