Some parents raise assholes, there is no other explanation for this.

‘A Total Disgrace’: Wounded Veterans at Beach Retreat Say Partying College Students Spit on and Harassed Them

It’s become a patriotic tradition in Panama City Beach, Florida. Twice annually for the last six years, the city has welcomed wounded veterans to the Warrior Beach Retreat, offering a special group of American heroes good times, camaraderie and relaxation.

But some college students sharing their hotel apparently didn’t get the memo.

“They actually spit on me and my service dog as well, and that’s just so disrespectful and it hurts,” wounded vet Nicholas Connole told WJHG-TV. “I come and I feel honored and I feel safe and like I belong, but now I feel like I’m defending myself.”

The incidents — which also included beer thrown on wounded veterans from balconies and urinating on the American flag — occurred at the Laketown Wharf Resort where veterans were staying along with students from Emory University as well as the University of Florida’s Zeta Beta Tau fraternity.

Hotel should have evicted them.

I hope not.

Hotel should have evicted them.

Most likely punks raised by the same ones who spit on troops coming home from Vietnam.

And just think....cops have to respond to deal with these punks with total restraint and no emotions.

They should've found a dozen healthy young vets...locked them in the banquet room with the punks...and the cops say "Ok folks...for 30 minutes...total immunity in this room. Have fun."

Some vets are whiny, disgusting people.

But it's not fair to characterize all of them, or even most, that way.
