This is one FUCKING HELL of a way to observe Veterans' Day. Just because I'm a pacifist does not mean I don't appreciate our Einherjar. I do; we wouldn't be the country we are without them. Pity the Washington asshats keep forgetting that.

I think they just figure that the military and veterans will sit back and take whatever gets dished out. The military takes great pride in the fact that it's trustworthy, that they don't pose any risk to the government - but things are building towards something nasty, and I suspect the military is going to play a key role in how it all falls out.

That's disgusting. Have you called/written your reps about it?

elbales November 11 2005, 21:08:49 UTC

btw, where did you read about this?

Link from a friend, who is interested in politics and had a link to the press release in her LJ. Here's the link to the DAV's site if you'd like it right from the horse's mouth: http://capwiz.com/dav/issues/alert/?alertid=8232126&type=CO

It was after 10 pm when I read that, so no. Going to be doing that, though - after sending the info to the rest of my family, who are probably going to be just as pissed.

This just makes my view of the gov evern worse than it was before. Like Triv I come from a family with many vets, my dad and grandfather included. I don't want to know what the future is now going to hold but I have a feeling its not going to be good

Yeah, they're screwing up everything they touch. And it's all going to come crashing down on them and everyone around them.
