A lot of veterans view us as traitors

This one sure does ...

“From our point of view, it's a public affair,”

From my point-of-view, your place is a public place. I'll be inviting my buds over to watch the game. I'm sure you won't mind.

The notion that leftist creeps have a holy right to constantly be in peoples faces is really getting old.

What’s interesting is that many of the so-called anti-war veterans AREN’T vets, they’re attention-whore wannabes at best.

Veterans Day and Memorial Day are not about political statements for either side. They are days set aside to honor those who served.

One claims many of us see them as traitors? Maybe, but more importantly, to politicize either of the solemn days makes them scumbags too.

POETRY FROM THE VETERANS FOR PEACE WEBSITE

http://www.veteransforpeace.org/Members_poetry_1.vp.html#a%20little%20touch%20of%20war

A LITTLE TOUCH OF WAR

A bit of you, a bit of me
A bit of them and more.
We’re all just little morsels
On the smorgasbord of war.

Everyone is mixed together
Like ingredients in a stew.
It’s hard to tell the different flavors.
I’ll just hope it isn’t you.

Who’ll ever know we went to war
If you never really call it one.
Just call it a small conflict
And tidy up when you are done.

We only want a little war,
A sip, a dash, a smidge, a drop.
And when we’ve tasted just a bit of blood
We’ll tell the war to stop.

Just treat it like a virus.
Just let it run its course.
And when enough of youth are dead,
We’ll offer some remorse.

We all just want a clean war
Without the dirt and grime.
In the safety of TV screens,
We keep our distance from the crime.

In an article published in 2006 under http://www.feralscholar.org/blog/index.php/2006/11/29/doctrine/ Winston Warfield described himself as a Marxist-Leninist who is proud he refused orders to go on patrol in Vietman.

Some spokesperson they chose!

It is entirely fitting and well deserved that John F’ng Kerry is discussed after the traitors, as a less important event.

“We're opposed to the U.S. invasion of Iraq; we're opposed to the planned invasion of Iran,”

And, evidently, you also are opposed to free speech.
