Any arrests made? How about releasing a police sketch of this guy's picture. I think locally a big deal should be made about this.

Part of me hopes the idiot's name and address become public knowledge. Especially to local law enforcement and veteran's groups.

The other part of me hopes someone takes him on a late night "sightseeing trip" to some appropriate location - Fort Bragg, Fort Benning, Camp Pendleton, Fort Campbell, Camp LeJune, Fort Hood, or Fort Drum come to mind, among others - and leaves him stranded the next day in the middle of the troop barracks area, stripped buck naked and barefoot, during lunch, with his hands and feet tied together, and with signs super-glued to his chest and back that say "I am the low-life @$$#o13 who assaulted a wounded soldier on convalescent leave at a Toby Keith concert."

Yeah I know it won't happen, and it's probably best for everyone that it doesn't.

But it should.

Thanks for the link and I would think that there would be video cams all over the place. Man, I was hoping that this was some sort of misunderstanding or even a false report. Sadly, it all appears to be fact. I was so afraid that this was going to happen. I'm sending the guy a note, that's the least I can do.

Thanks for the video links.

Toby Keith's manager has already called him and Toby Keith himself will be calling him.

PFC Barton just wants to get back to his unit - they got hit two days before he was attacked and took some casualties.

Lord, let us only live up to the loyalty exhibited such as this young man's.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first person to get punched by a Kerry supporter. You didn't see this one in the mainstream media either. Scroll down to "The Buck Stops with Kerry's Little People" and click Play.
