Again you need to look in the mirror. You know the truth... not all people who have been members of the military have been created equal or deserve the same type of recognition. You have let leftist idealism cloud your judgement.
I come from a military family, my wife comes from a military family, most of our close friends have been in the military. The one who has weird ideas is you.
Well, be sure and bring up your theories on veterans, your definition of active duty, what constitutes military service, and all the other stuff you think, at your next veteran’s group meeting.
