U.S. Army veterans Alan Pitts and Naveed Shah told Newsweek that their statement at Game 5 of the World Series was an effort to show the president 'vets are not on his side.'
The two baseball fans who held up a sign reading"Veterans for Impeachment" behind the home plate at last night's World Series game said they did it because Trump didn't represent the ideals that inspired them to enlist.that their statement at the tie between the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros, caught on TV cameras, was an effort to show the president"vets are not on his side.
"The stadium was loud, and people were excited, but as soon as they showed him on the jumbotron it was like someone flipped a switch to 'boo,'" he added. Nothing came of the defused situation and security at the ground was not so aggressive. Although the veterans say they were asked to put their sign away, and eventually had it taken away from them, Shah said Nationals Park staff were"very respectful."
Pitts, a founding member of Common Defense more familiar with statements and protest, said he hoped the president saw their banner, adding that it was"one more thing to show him that the country and us as Vets are not on his side."
