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.
