This disgusting incident was reported in the NY Post over the weekend:
Wounded Iraq veteran jeered for speaking in Columbia University ROTC debate
Columbia University students heckled a war hero during a town-hall meeting on whether ROTC should be allowed back on campus.
"Racist!" some students yelled at Anthony Maschek, a Columbia freshman and former Army staff sergeant awarded the Purple Heart after being shot 11 times in a firefight in northern Iraq in February 2008. Others hissed and booed the veteran.
Maschek, 28, had bravely stepped up to the mike Tuesday at the meeting to issue an impassioned challenge to fellow students on their perceptions of the military.
"It doesn't matter how you feel about the war. It doesn't matter how you feel about fighting," said Maschek. "There are bad men out there plotting to kill you."
Several students laughed and jeered the Idaho native, a 10th Mountain Division infantryman who spent two years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington recovering from grievous wounds. ...
You can't blame the poor young skulls full of mush, can you? After all, isn't Anti-Americanism a bona fide field of study at Columbia? (Sure seems like it.)
I wonder if these punks would've treated Ahmedinejad this way.
Maschek has more bravery and integrity in the nail of his pinky toe than any of these anti-American cretins or their Commie professors. And they know it.
But don't you dare question their patriotism!
