I wish we could call out people from different sites
It's funny that we here are giving tribute to the fallen soldiers and some people turn it into a fucking sham. Some even claim to be vets, but I doubt it.
It's sad that us liberals would give a nod to the vets through the ages and some people on certain sites will disgrace the names of those who have given their lives for this country and claim that we are using the soldiers for a bullshit cause.
I would like to see some credentials from some of those bullshiters. C'mon you punks, let me see your "badges".

1. I avoid those sites like the plague
They are toxic to the soul.

2. It's cool, johnnie. Some people just have to politicize everything.
And some people just have hate in their hearts and their lives.

It happens here, too. This weekend, I am honoring all veterans who served regardless of political affiliation. If I made this a political battle, I'd have to cross some relatives off my list and I'm not going to do that.

Johnnie - you know what's in your heart and that's all that matters. Your tribute earlier was lovely and moving. :hug:

4. I'd like to second JimmyJazz's thoughts on the matter

Can I get a motion to dismiss stupid freepers' attempts to demonize our actions?

5. The thread wasn't about me
But to politicize everything is just a bunch of crap. I'm sure they will take this thread and bash it, but that is their problem.

Thank you hun :hug:

6. I know exactly what you mean -- some of those people are all
about "supporting the troops" but have absolutely no problem bashing individual war heroes who post here on this board. It's not okay to say you are honoring all soldiers and then questioning the military service of people here. That's hypocrisy of the highest order.

But, I still really loved your post. :)

3. Let them stand on the sidelines and whack off
It's a voyeur's prerogative
