"Sir thank you for your service"

Is such a fucked up thing to say here.

When the powerful say "thank you" to anyone it's always sarcastic.

Why is this man being so aggressively removed from a public hearing? If someone who has put their life on the line for the country has no respect when practicing their first amendment right in the exact setting it is meant to be protected then what hope is there for the rest of us?

Haven't seen his preceding remarks, if there were any, but it's telling that they snatched him the second "Israel" came out his mouth. I am more convinced that ever that Israel is our enemy and has forfeited their right to exist.
