Wounded Iraq veteran jeered for speaking in Columbia University ROTC debate - NYPOST.com

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.

It is unfortunate these students aren't more respectful to war veterans.
