Such offense will always be the case. What is important is a majority of American's understand why our men and women have been called to protect this Republic and it's Constitution since it's earliest days and onward.

You are spot on—this is exactly the kind of stuff The Black Bloc does and they brag about and revel in this type of desecration; you cannot make them ashamed of it. It would be great if some of our patriots catch them in the act; otherwise watch their disgusting websites. These cowardly punks brag about these actions to each other—perhaps we can catch them online doing so. Or they might taunt the Eagles in person bragging about it. They travel in packs, like hyenas, and this gives them false courage.

It also appears that the same oily stuff was dribbled on the pedestal for the nurses' (at the fallen soldier's feet) statue and the walkway around it, though not as extensive as The Wall. Wait, it could be Holy Oil. I once had to scrub and repaint an entire apartment that a tenant had splashed oil on the walls in some sort of "blessing" of the unit.
To: mware
tgsl. Do they have surveillance cameras at that The Wall???

I seriously doubt that there are not cameras, especially since 9/11. I hope the cowards get caught soon.
BTW, great tagline. Tolkein was prescient, wasn’t he?

[All Im wondering, and I think it is a fair question is if you were so shocked and saddened by this desecration why there were no attempts made to clean it up? ]
What’s in the Oil? Maybe it’s just oil. Maybe it’s a contact poison. You don’t know.
Maybe he didn’t want to destroy evidence and instead chose to preserve it.
You’re being a jerk.

Look at the picture below and let us know how an oil leaking weed eater did this. Further they have been doing maintenance around the wall for years and this just happens now?
Granted there are weak postulations on this thread but your's are the weakest of all. Almost a defense.

Understood.
Another nail in the “accident” theory.

Not a big deal...
Acetone or De-natured Alcohol will remove the stains...
I work with Granite and these to solvents a miracle workers... ...believe me...
The reason it was done is still reprehensible true enough, but the present blemish is fixable...

Is the maximum height of the damaged areas consistent along the entire length of the wall?
I’m thinking the stream from an oil can would have sufficient pressure to reach a greater height than the damage visible in the photos.
This looks like a gravity fed stream, like what might be produced if someone walked along with the tube from a Camelback hanging out of their sleeve. The up and down pattern would be consistent with a swinging arm motion produced while walking.
