It's time for Veterans to campaign against all wars

because no one gives a rat's ass about them. The suicides, the depression, the murder, the hostage situation - it's all too much. Time to stop exploiting young men and women in the name of patriotism and national interest when very few people care about them.

Joined Vietnam Vets against the War....

Veterans for Peace...

Marched for Peace in the 1960's and 1970s and 1980s and 1990s and 2000nds, and this year, too.

Like talking to a fucking wall.

Other countries have learned that there's just no percentage - financial, political, or moral - in war.

We haven't.

We're just extra stupid!
