THE RIGHT WAY TO HONOR VETERANS

These days our men and women in uniform are usually treated with kindness and respect. Nobody begrudges someone in uniform getting to board a flight first, or getting comped a first-class seat. Even those on the left who think that people in military service are misguided dupes of evil militarists no longer indulge the open scorn and calumny prevalent in the Vietnam War era, when a uniform was a target for spittle and charges of “baby-killer,” when in 1971 John Kerry appeared before the Senate and accused U.S. troops of rape, torture, and mutilation. Yet under the surface of progressives’ seeming respect and sympathy there still lurks a subtle contempt for the virtues and values that make our warriors worthy of our gratitude and admiration.

Stop reading here - if an article starts with an unadulterated lie, the rest is not worth the time.

um...its not a lie that there are those on the left that DO think that...

the author isn't claiming that is true, he's just indicating that there are wacko, deranged commie-pinkos in training who think that it is...

Thanks to all my veteran brothers and sisters!

Happy Veterans Day!

Hey Old Sarge, if you stopped reading, hope you continue, it’s a good article.

Thank you for that blank check you wrote made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including your life.”

I’m glad that check didn’t have to be cashed.

Have a great day!

Simple: Impeach, convict, and jail Dorkbama the Muslim.

Your military will thank you.

And believe me, they will sell tickets for us to drive by the SIB’s cell so we can flip him the finger.

There's a Chick-Fil-A restaurant in Marietta, GA that has set a "Missing Man" table, complete with a white tablecloth, china, silverware, flowers, a Bible, and a folded American flag with a placard that explains the table is set in honor of all the veterans that never made it home.

I thought that was a brilliant idea.

Thank you for that story. It brought tears to my eyes.

Not a lie, just yesterday I read a comment on a sports page of all places, calling service members "fascists"...

"And here I thought all these singing fascists in uniform...were doing so solely out of the hate that MLB owners had for the American people being murdered, tazered and tortured by these fascist goons."

That comment rec'd 2 up votes.
