Come December, North Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protesters will likely be receiving support from hundreds of US veterans who have committed to their cause.

Organiser Wes Clark Jr, a former US army officer best known as co-host of the Young Turks show, called the Standing Rock resistance to DAPL 鈥渢he most important event up to this time in human history鈥.

A Facebook page titled 鈥淰eterans Stand for Standing Rock鈥 announced that hundreds of veterans would join the Standing Rock protesters from December 4 to December 7. It also gives a link to a GoFundMe page raising funds for their trip, which has so far received more than US$68,000 of their US$200,000 goal.
