 You know, I would venture to say that most of these amateurish-looking feel-good patriotic flyers are created by right-wing extremists and paid mercenaries with an agenda.

They don’t want people to remember that President Bush and his right-wing extremists killed over 250,000 people, or that his wars may bankrupt our country so they post pictures of wounded veterans and dead soldiers or other fake patriotic distractions to make people feel ill at ease about raising any objections to the tremendous damage they cause our country.
If people really want to help military families, go after Halliburton and their corporate buddies who made billions of dollars and demand that they make sure that their husbands, wives, and kids get an education and a career.
People join the military because they need a job, want training, want to travel, want to use the new GI bill, want to get away from their family, want the enlistment bonus, in a rut, or because relatives had joined. Most people do not join the military because they have a sense of patriotism ... that's just something they say about you AFTER you're dead.
And if you are a vet, you better understand that in corporate America, in spite of the commercials you see at sporting events, you don’t get to walk to the front of the line merely because you’re a veteran. Upper middle-class conservatives will not allow it. Upper middle-class conservatives ... the type that don't have to join the military are not going to let your opinions or experiences supersede theirs.

 Watch out for psychopaths and sociopaths posting FAKE rescue videos.  

 What a stupid meme.

This is fake and meaningless patriotism which never has and never will help any soldier ... it's a distraction … a fundraising scam ... a cheap way for corporations and organizations and the government to pretend to care about soldiers without actually doing anything.
Corporations are making record profits; Wall Street has fresh record highs all of the time; Halliburton and their corporate buddies made billions of dollars from wars and because they don't want anyone raising any objections about the billions that they're stealing from American taxpayers, they wave the flag and distract Americans with images of American soldiers.
If patriots really want to impress me, how about announcing that Halliburton and their corporate buddies will write a check for each soldier killed or wounded or how about ensuring that their children will receive a free college scholarship or how about making it easier for vets to get medical care or how about getting congress to declare that their survivors are exempt from paying state and federal taxes for life or how about announcing that companies doing business in Vietnam have reached an agreement to actively search for MIAs?
If you fall for this kind of red herring nonsense, don't be surprised if you have a hard life. You will be gullible and easily deceived anytime you buy a house, lease a car, take a job, or make a deal in the business world because you don't understand the differences between actual facts, misinformation, and disinformation.

 Ugh.  This is a horrible meme.  They should have stated that Batman had 120-episodes over three seasons.  This meme makes it appear that the Batman series was inconsequential.  Almost anybody who was anybody in Hollywood wanted to be in a Batman episode.

 Are you kidding? Young people should have nothing but contempt for baby boomers and the older generations.

- We plainly made college too expensive; there are no real careers; no labor protection; no job security; no affordable housing; no republic; no real democracy; no real due process; no fair legal system; no real effective government oversights; we have weak human rights; we keep hiring psychopaths and sociopaths to run corporations and government; we let stupid people buy houses and cars that they could not afford which jacked up the prices for everyone; we let corporations sell us out to flaky countries like China and Saudi Arabia. - Baby boomers knew or should have known that corporations and governments were bleeding our resources and we didn't have the strength of character or the integrity to stop them. As a baby boomer, I can say that the red flags were there. We were just too selfish and stupid to stop it.
