Former U.S. Marine Bob Mash, 83, did not come to the Veterans Day Parade in New York City to be honored for his service — he came to protest the deaths of children.Mash, who fought in the Vietnam War, shouted over the sound of patriotic music and a roaring crowd to express his outrage with President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and those who support the deadly conflicts in Iran and Palestine."We're participating in genocide," Mash told Raw Story. "I love the people, and I love the country, but my government is criminal."Mash, a member of the group Veterans for Peace, said he and fellow vets felt honor-bound to protest the Trump administration's ongoing war in Iran that has claimed the lives of 23 Americans and thousands of Iranians.Those Iranian deaths include more than 270 children, according to Amnesty International.Meanwhile, the U.S. gives Israel roughly $4 billion a year, and the Trump administration is considering a plan to shift aid to Israel from the State Department to the Pentagon to facilitate future collaborations.The United Nations Human Rights Council revealed last month that it found evidence that Israeli forces had committed war crimes that include rape, torture and the deliberate killing of children."Giving Israel all that money to kill innocent women and children?" Mash said on Wednesday. "This country is a disgrace."Mash and his fellow veterans at the demonstration were surrounded by children who both came to watch the parade march up Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and participate in it.

"They are war criminals."While Mash and his friends' defiance took the form of outrage, another group further down Fifth Avenue challenged the Trump administration's rhetoric with music and dancing.

Hortense St. Preux told Raw Story on Wednesday that she came to remind the U.S. of the contributions her fellow Haitians have made to this country."It is hard for them to accept us — so it's easier to reject us," said St. Preux. "You call us illegal, but we still go to school. We work."She recalled with pride her nation's historic ouster of French enslavers during the Haitian Revolution from 1791 to 1804, 61 years before the U.S. ratified the 13th Amendment and abolished slavery."We taught them how to live free," she said.Haitian American Veterans Association founder Dr. Fritz Fils-Aime told Raw Story he felt it was imperative to attend the parade, considering the current political climate."We need to show we're part of the fabric of this country," said Fils-Aime. The Vietnam War veteran's message to Trump? "Leave our country alone."

Laurent Lynch, 80, a Vietnam War veteran, refrained from discussing politics with Raw Story but said he wanted troops deployed abroad only to know, "We're behind them."Lynch said he was proud to have served in the U.S. Army as his father and brother had. When asked if he felt this Veterans Day was affected by the U.S. war with Iran, the vet said simply, "We're always getting into something."

Conservative radio host Mark Levin claimed Wednesday that the Iranian regime may have targeted him with a cyberattack. The claim came a day after he was widely mocked for complaining that he’d been locked out of his AOL email account.“My wife and I were warned yesterday by the appropriate federal agency that we might be targeted by the Iranian regime. Specifically, by a possible cyber attack,” Levin wrote on X. “Well, that appears to have occurred.”Levin did not name the agency, say what had been targeted, or say whether the incident was connected to his email trouble.“That said, my brilliant staff is working around it,” he wrote. “And this ‘boomer’ will not be intimidated or silenced, to the great chagrin of the Woke Reich neo-fascists.”Levin opened the post with a shot at Tucker Carlson, a fellow conservative media figure and frequent critic of Levin’s push for war with Iran. “We all know the Iranian regime is a great fan of Tucker Carlson’s America-hating videos, which air from time to time on their government run propaganda platforms,” Levin wrote. “In my case, the Iranian regime has a different approach.”He signed off with “Thank you for your attention to this matter,” a phrase Trump often uses to end his Truth Social posts.On Tuesday, Levin said he had spent “literally the entire day” trying to get AOL to unlock his email, calling himself “one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL.” Critics across the political spectrum piled on. Some joked about dial-up connections and fax machines, and others tied his influence to Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran.
