These veterans explain why they went to Standing Rock

[@countrynative65]

I wish I could have shaken every one of your hands there that day, very proud and honored to have stood next to all the vets there. Many meqwettch's to you and all the others who have served to protect.

[@NUFAN1313]

Honoring their oath to protect America and all her people, so much respect for those who understand what that really means. So proud of all of you.

As the Indigenous say, "A soldier obeys orders, a warrior does what's right"

I met Chris Vickers up there. Good dude. Lol. dude injured himself in standing rock. God, it was so cold and icy everywhere

[@BudahOfBirmingham]

Some of us in the UK are aware despite the cowardly media inattention. Keep on with our peaceful protest. Love light and peace to my brothers and sisters

[@kryptoart87]

How quickly they stopped the pipeline when the veterans started arriving. We should give the government a list of demands and if not met the veterans come. ✊

These Veterans have a way better idea about right and wrong than the US government.

[@lkjhfdszxcvbnm]

Yesterday, Standing Rock. Tomorrow, the White House.

[@AmySmith2001]

So BEAUTIFUL ! I LOVE THESE AWESOME HUMAN BEINGS WHO TRULY SERVE HUMANITY. AHO !! )))

[@robertwindedahl4919]

May our creator bless these good people for standing up and supporting us in this tragic theft of our water or should I say destruction of our water since the oil always destroys our water it's good to see non-indians supporting Indian rights but more has to be done

[@eliseorivera3576]

I'm actually standing to his right, wearing my red/blk USMC 2nd MAW cap and my blk face shield.This was just before we turned around and walked back to camp.IT WAS WINDY AND COLD.

[@boblester8641]

[@tinyvr7036]

This what a man would do as my dad would say Regardless Blessing to all of you men and women may the Lord answer our prayers Merry peaceful Christmas

[@robertwindedahl4919]

About 2 years ago we witnessed on the videos on TV a black man being murdered by the police this has happened many times over during the last 3 to 4 years and it's been going on for hundreds of years the entire country in riot mode riding throughout every major city in the USA but we've never seen any riots regarding our water being destroyed our lands being destroyed Etc it would be very nice to see people rioting for the preservation of our natural resources and our native peoples in our country actions always speak louder than words

[@michaelmeyer6306]

Erroneously felling guilty for something he didn't do. Blinded by that guilt to not see that he is being manipulated and what really caused the police to react the way they did and continue to do.

[@sangriasingh2354]

L. Ron Hubbard, George Lincoln Rockwell, and Timothy Mcveigh were all veterans. I suppose their causes were all just, too.

[@kibordpengin]

glad all the silly people are going home so that pipeline can get built.

[@speedydog45]

its not being built. they cancelled it

[@TheDark3lement]

kibordpengin such arrogance

[@chippychin]

Watch, the next one will be driven right through your home and your drinking water. They'll still stand up for you, no matter what you say now. Good people always stand when they're needed.

[@kibordpengin]

i wish i was fortunate enough to have the federal government decide to lease or purchase land i wasnt using. and i certainly hope that a bunch of stupid fucking trespassers didnt show up and fuck it up for me.

[@kibordpengin]

its getting built, you nitwit. theyre going to wait until all the dumb people stop whining about it, and it will get built. except no one will care anymore when it does.
