Exploiting turmoil to get his name out there, all while looking down sardonically on the lowly gutless civilians he's "saving," does make him an asshole. He doesn't even see them as equals. Let's substitute the word "blacks" or "gays" instead of "civilians" and he doesn't seem so nice does he? It's bullshit. He's bullshit. He's a self-serving clown doing a publicity stunt.

Dude, I seriously doubt his intent was to jumpstart anything career wise, what a joke. He may just be an older disgruntled vet type who rants from time to time and is into the activism of what's going on.
The butthurt over the gutless worms comment is funny to me, is not a big deal. Vets and soldiers talk about civilians like that quite often, it's part of military culture in a way. Some of them are full of shit, some of them are pretty spot on it. Just goes with the territory I guess. All I'm saying is don't get too butthurt over it, it's nothing really.

^this is very true.
It's a really nice sentiment to have so many non-indigenous actors, healers, musicians, and other activists heading to Standing Rock in solidarity, but these veterans can be of aid on the front line in ways that MOST civilians simply cannot.

so you agree that most civilians are gutless worms and are incapable of standing up for themselves
that must be why they're protecting the water by polluting the air and poisoning the soil

Seriously dude? I respect what you say most of the time, but you are really starting to sound like a right-wing Koods. As I'm sure you've read my comments in the Trump threads and know that I am conservative libertarian and voted Trump, but I DO NOT support the militarized police state and the way we are treating our natives. I suggest you do some real research from real people reporting and posting live videos to Facebook. If you get your information from any mainstream source, they are going to spin it in favor of Big Oil.

these natives have invaded private and public lands to stop a private enterprise, these same natives and non natives are taking children into dangerous situations and provoking violence from these 'militarized police' and private security contractors, these same natives and non natives will be the same ones that will attack this pipeline in order to contaminate the water so they can "prove" they were right
https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/pipelines-are-safest-way-transport-oil-and-gas
maybe if you did some research you'd learn that pipelines do carry some risk but the current methods of transporting this oil poses far more risks, you'd also learn that the mainstream media is reporting favorably on the protestors, downplaying the violence from their side and vilifying the cops as brutal assailants, of course if you only want to hear the protesters side it shows you seek the confirmation bias against the "cops" which as it appears is your motivation
and since you like to cite facebook as a valid news source, here's something from someone that has fought for native rights about the lies these protesters are telling to stop this pipeline
https://www.facebook.com/notes/scott-gates/on-the-standing-rock-tribes-dakota-pipeline-protest-/10154529600627457
now why would these defenders of the earth be setting fire to old tires and equipment in order to 'protect the earth', are they completely stupid or are they lying about that as well, I dont know about the standing rock area but I know that my area hasnt had rain in several months, we've had several fires started recently by people throwing out cigarette butts in addition to fires from arson, mush of it burning tens of thousands of acres of land. morton county north dakota does seem to have favorable conditions for wild fires and these earth defenders are setting shit on fire. how many of their own will they kill when one of these fires gets out of control? how many of the children that they put in harms way will die because of their stupidity
now why you felt the need to announce who you voted for as being trump, I didnt vote for trump, I voted no confidence. I did not like either options

Typical response insinuating I haven't done research on both sides and haven't been objective, because you way wrong. The mainstream reports I have seen, with the exception of the few in the last week, have all be in favor of the pipeline. 
Have you watched any of the videos posted by the protestors? There are many many videos from multiple angles, some 30-40 minutes in length. There are weeks of videos. Like any protest, there is some degree of wrong doing. These protests aren't anything remotely like the ones done by the "not my president" groups, who actually do incite violence and being paid.
The protestors don't have guns or weapons, yet cops are attacking them. They purposely shoot people in the head with rubber bullets and throw concussion grenades into crowds and in one instance blowing a girls arm off. Regardless if the protestors were breaking a law, this kind of conduct and force from our police is entirely out of hand.
You see it in black communities, you see with the pipe protestors, and you see it every single day when the enforce the war on drugs. I also think at this point the issue goes far deeper than this single pipeline, and show the hypocrisy and corruption of our government at all levels.
For someone willing to point their finger at democrats and liberals so often, you she learn to point the finger in the other direction at times too. And while the letter of the law is definitely not on the side of the protestors, as a human being we have to decide what is morally right and wrong in the macro sense.
Using a few instances of bad protestors (speaking only in the case of the pipeline), you can't dismiss the human rights tragedy that is occurring.
How are these people "killing their own"? That sounds like pure rhetoric to me. Anyway, I'm definitely not going to try to debate anything with you. Rather, I'll just post my views and allow others to read it and they can read your responses, and they can make their own conclusion about the issue.

so you look for what you want to see is what you're telling me. did police set the fires? are fires also not a weapon?

Quote:
There were two incidents of shots fired late this afternoon and evening, according to authorities. One occurred along Highway 1806 near what is known as the “backwater bridge” north of the main camp -- one person is in custody. A protester along the frontline on Highway 1806 also fired three rounds near officers. No one was injured and the protester was taken into custody.
“The protesters are not being peaceful or prayerful," Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney said in the press release. "Law enforcement has been very methodical in moving ahead slowly as to not escalate the situation. However, the protesters are using very dangerous means to slow us down. Their aggressive tactics include using horses, fire and trying to flank us with horses and people.”

all I have done is post my views and the views of others that have also payed close attention, my opinion being that when you drag your children into a protest where violence will erupt and the opposing side has better weapons and authorization to use them, you put your children in danger by using them as a human shield. that is what these people are doing. by starting fires in drought stricken areas they put themselves in danger because a prairie fire is damn hard to escape and fire certainly kills. if you're blind to these facts then clearly you're blind to all the other bullshit they're spreading

Like I said, not going to debate you. But you can watch from the police angle too, and read their articles (which I do). Again, you are just assuming that I haven't taken into account of the other side.
You also have leaders of the protest condemning the spread of misinformation, violence, starting fires, and vandalism. Most of the people from all the accounts I've read are people that come here from other parts of the country, not the natives or locals themselves.
There are instances of cops actually quitting the police force and join the protestors because they said what they are doing is wrong.
I just don't think justify two wrongs make a right. You literally have Obama saying he's for indigenous rights but it playing the hand of Big Oil and the interests of the massive finance companies (like corrupt Wells Fargo) that have a half a billion invested in a pipeline. The protests wouldn't be getting to level they have if the president didn't say "lets let this play out for a few more weeks".
We have a lame duck president that cares more about muslims and black lives matter and Trey Martan than about our indigenous people. That's what pisses me off about the issue so much. I don't justify law breaking, violence, vandalism, endangering kids, but I don't agree with what's going on either. The issue of the government corruption is far bigger and more overreaching than a few bad apples and hypocrisies of the protestors.

and you're assuming I havent and that I take the side of the police when in reality I am not siding with a pack of liars that are protesting under a false pretense while propagating more lies to generate sympathy

you obviously dont care about what's actually happening either because this issue isnt about government corruption, the souix nation had 2 years to submit a grievance during the planning states, there were 17 instances where the pipeline was rerouted to alleviate the concerns of the people in the area, even crystal g pointed out one of them, the problem is when the corp of engineers approached the souix leader they refused to deal with them, they've done so on multiple occasions and still refuse. they want to blame everything but themselves and their leaders for this shit and no one wants to see that truth

so just because I'm cherokee and comanche I should accept and side with people that had the chance to do something, refused to do it and now they're angry because they failed to act?

the violence from which side?
everyone keeps claiming these protesters are innocent but they're trying to break through baricades, they're shooting at or at least in the direction of the security that's trying to keep them at bay and those voilent actions prompt actions from the security such as flash bangs, water hoses and rubber bullets
contrary to the popular myths about this, it's not a peaceful protest.

People get pissed off when they are disrespected. This is a case of disrespect. But you can't really slow down big oil much.
I,am not really against oil. My grandpa owned and operated a fairly large drilling company. My dad was running drilling crews since before he could drive. There just wasn't much of a legacy by the time I grew up. Curse of old people having kids and oil taxes.
