According to both activists, after the Memphis police officers left, the scuffle concluded and the protesters walked away. However, a young Iraq war veteran, who "had obviously been drinking and was very emotional," then confronted the group.
"Why are you doing this to our President?" the veteran asked. "You don’t understand what we’ve been through and what we’ve done."
He then reportedly told the protesters that he harbored doubts about the President’s role in the 9-11 terror attacks.
"What if he did it?" the vet asked rhetorically, according to Cummings, a long-time peace activist who volunteers at military hospitals to assist wounded soldiers. "But he’s still the Commander in Chief. We thought we were killing Iraqis to protect you.’"
He's going to need some help.
