A new group called Occupy Marines is calling on non-active duty Marines to support the "Occupy" protest movement.

The group was formed online to support the Occupy Wall Street protests after videos circulated online of a Marine confronting New York City police, questioning their tactics used against Occupy Wall Street demonstrators.

In a video that has received nearly 2.5 million views, Marine Sgt. Shamar Thomas of Roosevelt, N.Y. an Iraq War veteran, spoke out to police in New York's Times Square, charging that they were over-reacting to Occupy marchers - and shaming their uniform.

(There are over 25 million US military veterans. I encourage each and every one of my fellow vets to find a local 'Occupy' protest and honor your oath to 'protect and defend against all enemies - foreign and DOMESTIC.')
