One Nation Fizzles Together: Pictures from 10/2/10 Rally in DC

Dissing 'Imperialist' War Memorials

War memorials - what are they good for?

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a polished granite wall with engraved pictures of soldiers and the inscription "Freedom is not free."

But freedom appears to be free for this SEIU activist carrying his free lunch.

"I hope whoever polished this wall was paid prevailing union wages."

Next to the Vietnam wall is the Korean War Veterans Memorial. A soldier seems to have frozen in bewilderment, reading the signs in the hands of the passing crowds and refusing to believe his own eyes.

A standoff: "WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!?"

"How dare these dudes with guns stand here while we heroically demonstrate for peace?"

The World War II Memorial's proximity to the reflecting pool made it an unfortunate casualty of the "One Nation" rally.

Right outside, a group of radicals was staging a protest against "US colonial wars" and for "Reparations to African people."

As the rally went on, the WWII Memorial was being gradually filled with garbage.

Collateral damage.
