Thank you for your post and discussion.
As I wrote in another thread this morning, I am peeved at the disrespect shown by some Freepers toward veterans... We owe a debt of respect, honor, and gratitude to all those who have served in the United States military. Regardless of politics. I am dismayed to see a number of non-veteran Freepers trash veterans to make their political pot shots. Seems particularly out of place on FR.
...at lease we are not being spit upon like veterans were from Vietnam, we don't see reports of veterans 'going postal' nowadays, but we sure do see a lot of dissing of veterans, splitting hairs about their service, etc. Worst part is, it is, as before, by non-veterans. A shame really.

VP Cheney got a pass by many for his multiple deferments because of his politics. Now, people of note that got deferments are respected and lauded. Nonsense. Rightly or wrongly, Muhammad Ali walked the walk, as did those who went off to CCC camps.
Whether you serve in the military, Peace Corps, Merchant Marines, etc - you went the extra step and that shows extra character. But there are now multiple posters that run down military service because politics.

This has not been my experience at all on Freerepublic. Many of the posters on Freerepublic seem to be ex-military an have much respect for each other. The outrage I’ve seen regards the new Sodomite/Drag Queen military
