It seems that some of Kerry's "band of brothers" were protesting in Central Park against President Bush during the Republican convention!

Iraqi Vets Against the War Close Ranks with Vietnam Vets Against the War (Again)
During Sunday's monster protest against Bush and his stinking war it was Veterans who lead the march. During the march a clandestine picnic was hastily arranged among the veterans. The picnic was held in Central Park at Summit Rock. An illegal rally spontaneously took place (in accordance with the US Bill of Rights) and the torch was passed from the Vietnam generation to the Iraqi War generation who now comprise the Iraqi Veterans Against the War.
Hide di hide di hide di ho!
George W. Bush has got to go!
Sound off! One Two
Sound off! Three Four
Bring it in down
One two three four George Bush out the door!
New York City- August 30th
Another vet from Massachusetts, Joe Bangert stood up. He wore a shirt with the logo of the same icon for the fallen as the Iraqi Vets had adopted- except Bangert's shirt read: HOI CUU CHIEN BINH MY PHAN DOI CHIEN TRANH TAI VIETNAM- Vietnamese for Vietnam Veterans Against the War.
Bangert, a former machine door gunner on helicopters in Vietnam called all the troops to LISTEN UP!
Although speeches had been discouraged Bangert plowed ahead and suggested that on this Summit in Central Park that 'the time has come for those of us who have fought the good fight to pass the torch to you young Iraqi veterans'. He explained that for those former members of VVAW that only they could sympathize with the isolation that the Iraqi vets returning home from the bloody scenes in Najaf and Baghdad have. No one to understand the specifics of the horror they had just witnessed and experienced. Bangert even brazenly said 'when we Vietnam Vets came home America's greatest generation turned their backs on us.'
This is kind of like getting endorsed by the KKK.
