It colored my view of the blind hero worship so many people in the U.S. take part in. That said, I'm very supportive of veterans and am grateful for those who have worked hard for their own good reasons. My grandpa was one of my favorite people. He fought in Korea. I'm just a bit more reserved and careful about my support than most Americans.
Sorry if that was an inappropriate rant.
The thread took a dive before you entered it.
Noted on my part that showing my appreciation is going to wind others up who can't allow that sort of thing to go unchallenged. Sort of like the shitshow that went on after a former TTA member passed away and I mentioned it here for people who knew him.
Yeah, I didn’t mean for my post to be a challenge, but rather a personal caveat to add to my support. I do think this is a very important day and that many people deserve the honor. I have a small chip on my shoulder that shouldn’t detract from those who deserve it.
