Bremerton Chamber official - vets' group not honorable

The Bremerton Chamber of Commerce won't let the local Vets For Peace chapter appear in Saturday's Armed Forces Day Parade. Parade committee chairman Cris Larsen apparently doesn't think a bunch of actual veterans are honorable enough to participate in the event:
"I think it's silly for this to become an issue and for them to hijack an honorable day"
Larsen's excuse?
The parade is meant to honor all who are serving or have served in the armed forces, Larsen said. It's not a political outlet.

Silly vets, you're just not warry enough! Peace is just political!’

Oddly, Cris Larsen is a comedian. Crap, I wonder what his shows are like. Ya ever notice how those peace advocates are always advocating for peace? What’s the deal with THAT? etc.

I assume this is him:









It’s a camouflage hat — hiding his brain from view, one supposes.
