Now Veterans Are Marching On Wall Street -- They're Mad About Scott Olsen, Benefit Cuts And 20% Unemployment: "Veterans are coming together to beef up their presence and stature at Occupy Wall Street following last week's injury of one of their own.
Scott Olsen's head wound, suffered in Oakland last week, has caused vets ranks to swell in the Occupy protests. In response, organizers have planned a march from Vietnam Veteran's plaza to Zuccotti park in New York today. At the park, veterans will voice their concerns over declining benefits, lingering postwar trauma, and unemployment rates of over 20 percent for 18 to 24-year-old vets."
