GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The University of Florida is investigating allegations that members of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity spat at a group of disabled military veterans last weekend at a resort in Panama City Beach.
...
About 60 veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan were also attending a retreat which has been held twice a year for the last six years at the resort. Cope started the event in honor of her son Joshua, who lost both legs in Baghdad in 2006 when a roadside bomb exploded under his Humvee.
One letter to Fuchs described students spitting on veterans, throwing beer bottles over a balcony and ripping flags off their cars.
Cope said she believes the students knew they were insulting veterans because the guests were wearing caps and T-shirts indicating they are veterans.
"They knew who they were and they were just getting a kick out of it," she said. "It is heartbreaking for a mom with a son who sacrificed so much for their freedom."

this is like saying that police unions are the last locus of organized worker power and are therefore being targeted for removal

when you said "targeted for removal" did you mean the generally promoted trope about frat boys all being drunken assholes or something, because that's like 50 years old

i was in a frat where i met some of the worst people i've ever met and i went to law school so that's saying something!! for example the alumni advisor guy worked for MEMRI. anyway we were an eyesore that trafficked lots of drugs, the university got it condemned, and now its a parking lot. i guess what's left is all rotc kids. moral of the story is: I stand with Kevin
