This one goes out to the Veterans
I just wanted to take a minute to wish the AmVets out there a good Veterans Day.
Here's hoping that on this day next year, we'll be looking forward to a new Commander-In-Chief who shows our veterans more respect than the current one.
Much respect to American Veterans of all eras.

Amen, brother, amen. I want to take back the flag from the Neanderthal, flag-waving, bible-thumping, crucifix-wielding thugs who've hijacked our country.
As my dad (a WWII navy vet - stationed on the USS Yorktown) growled a couple of months ago at the latest US casualty reported in the NY Daily News (in his typical Brooklyn, blue-collar, unintellectual way): "What the hell are we doing over there in Iraq? We should get the hell out." His family may have been too poor to send him to high school, but he has more common sense than all the criminals in the Bush administration.

The war that ended 85 years ago on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month was the "War to end all wars". The day brings a sense gloom when I think of the blood that was shed by young men for old men's follies.

how many people have to die for dyin's sake before we teach our children to use their words. no one who has ever been to war ever wants to see another one. if you want to honor the veterans, dont join the military, work for peace, thats the only way to help prevent more veterans, and more ruined cripples with no social safety net.
