So, it is Memorial Day and here I am, a fat, American asshole enjoying the last few vestiges of freedom left to me before they are stripped away. I am here, able to be relatively happy and content and able to have relatively happy and content children and a relatively happy and content wife due to the American soldier. I believe the American government is broken beyond repair. I believe the people not only lost the power long before I was born, but that they gave it up. I believe that it will NEVER get better, only worse, but these are the sins of the people in charge. The soldiers, the men and women who put their lives on the line day in and day out are not the ones in charge. They have a difficult job that even if I were thin and in the best shape I could be in I STILL could not do. They are willing to spill their blood for this country and ultimately for me and for you. Never forget this. Due to my dissatisfaction with the way things are many soldiers, sailors, airmen, and all there permutations may not want to hear this from me, but I am grateful to them and thankful for them. So, again, members of the United States Armed Forces, I want to say thank you and that I am glad that each and every one of you has the dedication and honor that you do. It may seem like hypocritical bandwagonism to say it today, but it is the way I feel. Please keep on your feet and fight the good fight. The people of this tarnished nation are behind you.
