If memory serves, Patton and Eisenhower were involved in that as well.
This situation is not quite the same, though.
Quite right. However, the question is whether there is precedent for the U.S. government to use unreasonable force against U.S. military veterans who assemble to share and voice personal and relevant concerns.
I am not predicting such an event in the present situation, but we should not think it impossible.
Perhaps a few of the larger questions are, by what authority does the government have the right to restrict public access as in this particular instance? What are the limits of any such assumed or actual authority as it may be applied to other public facilities?
