What Is A Veteran?

A "Veteran" -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is
someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to
"The United States of America," for an amount of "up to, and including his
life."

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today,
who
no longer understand that fact.

I couldn't agree more.

Awwww. Widdle soljer buoy is whining. Again.

What do you have against soldiers, mostly honorable and brave folks?
My dad never talked about the war, but when he dies he wants me to
note at his funeral that "he loved his family" and "he was a
soldier"... I think the point is that he did not stop being a soldier
when he came home from war, he was a soldier for life. Nothing wrong
with that. You don't have to be republican to be a soldier either, as
I have noted before, my family was heavily involved in the socialist
party/movement some decades ago. All of them went to war, and loved
their country.


Mike, both Doug and Harry think it will bend me way out of shape if they
put down my military service (or that of anyone else). Harry's gone so far
as to make the 'killing babies' charge.

Other than showing where they must go to think they've won, their comments
have no effect.


Let's me make something perfectly clear: I don't put down your military
service *BECAUSE* it was military service. I do it because of who and what
YOU are. And, I do it because you don't really understand why you served and
what you were sworn to protect.
