This is not an isolated incident, however, as Brandon Raub, a decorated Marine was detained as part of a DHS directive called “Operation Vigilant Eagle,” a directive aimed at scrutinizing the behavior of veterans for anything nonconformist as a means of weeding out dissent. This veteran was forcefully admitted to a mental health institution for posting Facebook posts that were at-odds with the Obama Administration’s political agenda. He was taken to the mental health institution and admitted for Oppositional Defiance Disorder, a term that the government uses to brand those who disagree with the way government is being run as being insane. Critics have noted that the criteria is overly-broad and seems to target rightwing thought as a dangerous behavior worthy of institutionalization where veterans can become re-educated.
