Moonbats "occupy" Washington, D.C.

They just keep getting weirder and weirder:

13 Iraq war veterans in full desert camo going on "patrol" from Union Station to Arlington National Cemetery. They carried imaginary assault rifles, barked commands, roughly "detained" suspected hostiles with flex cuffs and hoods -- and generally shocked, frightened and delighted tourists and office workers.

"How does occupation feel, D.C.?!" shouted Geoff Millard, head of the local chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War, who previously served on a brigadier general's staff in Tikrit.

They cut a swath across downtown, taking imaginary sniper fire and casualties on the grounds of the Capitol and the Washington Monument, scouting the White House, performing mock arrests at the foot of the Capitol steps and a vehicle search on the Mall. At the Capitol, the veterans almost got detained themselves by civilian peace officers with real guns. The vets brought their act to a military recruiting station on L Street NW and concluded with a memorial ceremony in the cemetery.

UPDATE: To commentor "Guess," whose rant was far too rude and vulgar (what's with liberals and rude/vulgar comments?) to approve, no, I don't have a double standard. These people are moonbats because they're a bunch of lunatics. People can come back from service in Iraq and be critical of the war, but to do something like this is just bizarre. It's like those clowns who "protested" by acting out their idea of how Israeli soldiers act towards Palestinians. You can protest, march, chant, etc., but there's a line where it changes into insanity. These people crossed that line. There have been plenty of people who've come back from Iraq who criticize our presence there who I don't criticize because they do it in a sane fashion.
