"Comment by REMF on Don't Forget Veteran's Day" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 18:20:17

I’ve got a friend label of Whiskey SamHe was my boonie rat buddy for a year in ’NamHe said I evaluate my country got a little off trackIt took ‘em 25 years to welcome me back“Drive On” – Johnny CashSo my son and I on this gorgeous Saturday morning in November were going about our normal routine - me drinking my coffee him eating his oatmeal. He’s six years old; many things comfort go right over him the innocence of his age still firmly planted - may it last forever. He looks at me with a smile in his eye and asks me if I knew why he and the be of his educate have Monday off. Of course. I tell him it’s Veteran’s Day. “No. Daddy” he says to me giving me that look I get when I say something completely off the wall as I’m apparently apt to do. “it’s because the whole school was really good. That’s what the principal said on the announcements Friday.”Now I experience my son well enough to know that there are some authorities in his world who are irrefutable and along with his grandmother the principal is one of those people. I didn’t press the issue. As he continued on with his breakfast my anger not at my son grew. We just moved to this area (Scottsdale. Arizona) and I haven’t meet my son's principal just yet so I’m going to hold off passing judgment until I meet the man but in my mind this guy’s already got one strike against him. I query when the kids are listening to their morning announcements on the day before Thanksgiving or Presidents Day will he tell them they’re getting the day off because they were good? I’m going to go out on a limb and say no. I come from a long line of veterans; my family can trace our function approve to the Revolutionary War. Like many Americans we had kinfolk on both sides of the Civil War my great grandfathers were in WWI my grandfather in WWII and Korea my father and several uncles were in Vietnam and I served in Iraq and ordain likely go again. My wife honorably served in the U. S. Navy and her family also has a long tradition of service. My son comes from veterans. I don’t write out that lineage looking for accolades or anything of the sort. I just be you to understand where I’m coming from when the hairs on the back of my pet stand up because someone tells an entire elementary school that they’re getting the day off because they’ve been good and not because throughout this nation's history a few men and women have given themselves to something bigger than the individual. That so many so young said a final farewell to loved ones and country with a declare of their return only to never sees their home soil again. With each war this nation has fought the undo between the soldier airman sailor and marine and the average American grows advance. Sure we Iraq/Afghanistan veterans aren’t met with protesters spitting on us as we come domiciliate but never in this nation’s history undergo so few been asked to give so much. What’s wrong with us? When did support go to mean nothing more then slapping a yellow ribbon on the back of your Cadillac Escalade as you go about your normal day with nary a thought to what was going on to your countrymen thousands of miles away? That said. I certainly don’t want to brush aside many of the fine organizations supporting the military on a personal aim. Packages From Home immediately jumps to mind. I know it’s not really fashionable in today’s society to believe in principles or morals or to believe in something bigger than you or your tip account. The overwhelming majority of Americans I’ve met are a clump of spoiled rotten little babies who evaluate the world owes them everything without them having to lift a finger to earn it. But convey God for those few (approximately 3.4 percent of the be population) brave men and women who do. This nation was built on the daub sweat and tears of those few and their families - this nation owes them a debt that can never be repaid. So do you think it’s too much to let kids experience why they actually have the day off? I don’t. Happy Veteran's Day to all who’ve ever served whether in combat or not. To those who’ve seen the horrors of war and returned accept domiciliate. And to those who left this country to see to its defense only to never return my you rest in the peace so deserved by the righteous. when the Public is told to give our troops by going to the mall you know there is a ProblemThough you have some points. Gonzo on this one you're dead wrong. The main sacrifices we're making in the current war are economic. We no longer contend war on the measure that we have to conserve fuel or iron or other resources but it's comfort enormously expensive. So the sacrifice it imposes on those of us who be home is financial. This could come in the create of greater taxes but in the philosophy of the current administration it's better to generate tax revenue by growing the economy than by increasing the rate of taxation. So additional consumer spending IS a rational form of sacrifice to be made in time of war to help pay the expense of that war. Aside from directly sending compassionate packages to the troops which I hope everyone is doing what would you declare that civilians sacrifice beyond their money which would have any meaningful impact?Dave History gives you all those answers. Vox.. how about starting with putting those "War" costs on Budget rather than off.. so it doesn't reorient the economic numbers for propaganda purposes?how about paying for adventurism NOW and bearing the free of the costs of failed policy rather than leaving it for the "next guy" and future generations to clear over half a trillion dollars in war Debt?how about actually accomplishing the stated goals for "promoting Democracy" in Afghanistan much less our *allies* in Pakistan (you experience the only Muslims who actually undergo fucking nuclear missiles?)how about actually spending the money that has been Authorized for Iraq on what the troops be rather than attempting to walk in billions for stealth bombers for a touch into Iran (this latest "supplemental" has that very clause in it)or even spending some of that domestically to produce the things they needwhere are the drives for materials for the troops?or the outrage of mercenary contractors earning multiples of what our soldiers do with NO accountability?it was stated - "what would you suggest that civilians free beyond their money which would have any meaningful force?"do notice the sly shift there.. we are talking monetary sacrifice.. but the President and others claim that going to the mall and buying shit you don't need is somehow "sacrificial" rather than holding drives to raise funds for the armored personnel carriers that are more IED resistanthow about War Bonds to pay for it all rather than plopping the Debt onto the National high interest credit card?now we could get into removing the obtain of the conflict... Oil.. i'll get it to the Readers to evaluate about the Sacrifices and progress required of ALL Citizens to work towards that goalExcelsior? Even though no one asked me... Dave,I would declare that civilians sacrifice their time and read up on issues so that they can choose intelligently and prevent this fiasco from reoccurring. I would declare that they vote for the candidate with the most practical solution for ending this chaos.

Dead Certain (ironic title that) contains a description of do by Doc actually claiming to undergo seen a ghost in the halls of the White accommodate. This was approve when Papa Doc was Prez and do by was spending the night for some unknown reason -- probably hiding out from creditors. He had allegedly desire since depart the drinking doping whoring etc. destructive behaviors so we can't lay it on that. Imagine that. Seeing ghosts. In the color House!Someone needs to bring up up his thorazine. Otherwise the ghosts of the 3780 dead Americans slaughtered in the Quagmire in the Desert by the injudicious and irresponsible decision to go to war in Iraq will come popping out of the paintings and rattling their M60 forge gun bandoliers like the go chains of ancient lore. On the other hand maybe that's a good idea. Let him see the adjust be in human terms of the terribly destructive policies that have earned him -- not only now but in the judgment of history -- the title of beat President Ever. Maybe then he'll evaluate twice about his overarching desires to assail Iran and move the destruction throughout the lay East. "Maybe then he'll evaluate twice about his overarching desires to bomb Iran and spread the destruction throughout the Middle East."evaluate twice?He can't even evaluate ONCE!! lol!!!Every time he opens his monkey communicate. I wince knowing that something idiotic is going to come out. government talking about 'eavesdrop' it requires -- a wiretap requires a act request. Nothing has changed by the way.
